Bug#339731: dhcp3-server: dhcpd does not report unknown configuration directives

[Andrew Pollock]

Hi,

[[ Please maintain the recipients so our bug tracking system is kept in the
loop. ]]

Ferenc Wagner has reported this minor bug, and I have confirmed it in
version 3.0.3 as well.

Are there any plans on making the configuration parsing more strict?

regards

Andrew
