I can confirm this on a fresh installation.

Endian is changing the netmask section from 255.255.255.0 to 24 , and in the range section is truncating the last three octets in start and end ip's.

What I did is to manually change both section and the daemon will start flawsly.

May I ask where you made those changes? I have an issue were i've assigned a dhcp range. the machine does pick up the ip and get's internet access. My problem is that i don't see any of the dynamic ip's that were picked up by the computers. this happens on green blue and orange.
p.s. 255.255.255.0 does = to /24 so i'm not sure what you meant.

thanks

What I meant is that every time the efw starts the /etc/dhcpd.conf reads:

>> subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 24 {
>> range 192 192;
>> option subnet-mask 24;

and the dhcpd daemon won't start that way with logs;

>> Nov 3 09:39:24 filiberto dhcpd: Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server V3.0.1
>> Nov 3 09:39:24 filiberto dhcpd: Copyright 2004 Internet Systems Consortium.
>> Nov 3 09:39:24 filiberto dhcpd: All rights reserved.
>> Nov 3 09:39:24 filiberto dhcpd: For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/sw/dhcp/ [^]
>> Nov 3 09:39:24 filiberto dhcpd: /etc/dhcpd.conf line 6: too few numbers.
>> Nov 3 09:39:24 filiberto dhcpd: subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 24 {
>> Nov 3 09:39:24 filiberto dhcpd: ^
>> Nov 3 09:39:24 filiberto dhcpd: Configuration file errors encountered -- exiting
>> Nov 3 09:39:24 filiberto dhcpd:

So I change the dhcpd.conf to:

>> subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
>> range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.149; [or range you define in green]
>> option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

then restart the dhcpd:

>> /etc/init.d/dhcp restart
>> Shutting down dhcpd: [FAILED]
>> Starting dhcpd: [ OK ]

make a copy of good conf in /root:

cp /etc/dhcpd.conf /root

then write a script call fix_dchp.sh in /root:

>> #!/bin/sh
>> cp /root/dhcpd.conf /etc/dhcpd.conf
>> /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart

an run it every time the efw is restarted,I know that it is "hard wired" for the configuration I have right now, but it works and I hope it gets fixed in the next community release.

aberriosdavila,
i've the same problem.

that's my solution:

"make a copy of good conf in /root:

cp /etc/dhcpd.conf /root"

then alter the script into /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.local:

>> #!/bin/sh
>> cp /root/dhcpd.conf /etc/dhcpd.conf
>> /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart
>> exit 0

It's easy and the service dhcpd is auto restart with the machine's shutdown!
