For More Information - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 11 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

Control the server's behavior regarding this feature by means of entries in the file /etc/
sysconfig/dhcpd. To run dhcpd without the chroot environment, set the variable
DHCPD_RUN_CHROOTED in /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd to "no".
To enable dhcpd to resolve hostnames even from within the chroot environment, some
other configuration files must be copied as well:
• /etc/localtime
• /etc/host.conf
• /etc/hosts
• /etc/resolv.conf
These files are copied to /var/lib/dhcp/etc/ when starting the init script. Take
these copies into account for any changes that they require if they are dynamically
modified by scripts like /etc/ppp/ip-up. However, there should be no need to
worry about this if the configuration file only specifies IP addresses (instead of host-
names).
If your configuration includes additional files that should be copied into the chroot en-
vironment, set these under the variable DHCPD_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES in the file
/etc/sysconfig/dhcpd. To ensure that the DHCP logging facility keeps working
even after a restart of the syslog-ng daemon, there is an additional entry
SYSLOGD_ADDITIONAL_SOCKET_DHCP in the file /etc/sysconfig/syslog.
