Bug#240019: dhcp3-server: lease file remains empty, except for the boilerplate text

[Andrew Pollock]

Hi,

I've had a couple of users report that fixed address assignments don't
get written to dhcpd.leases, but leases assigned out of the pool do.

This behaviour is different to that of the v2 dhcpd.

Is it intentional? I can't find specific mention of it in the
dhcpd.leases manpage, the README or the RELNOTES.

Please maintain the Cc so our BTS gets a copy of the correspondence.

regards

Andrew
