command to ignore certain macs?

[John Wobus]

Look up 'deny booting' and 'ignore booting' in the dhcpd.conf man page.
Typical configuration looks like this:

host roguecomputer245 {hardware ethernet 00:44:ac:ac:d3:04; deny 
booting;}

(This is a global line within the config file :)
My recollection is that the difference between 'deny' and 'ignore' is 
that one of the two methods
puts a line in the DHCP log, the other does not.  I don't recall which 
is which.
