dhcp-users Digest V3 #226

[Marc Perea]

When I attempt to change the "ends" attribute using omshell "set ends = [some hex colon separated value], then "update" I get a "can't update object: permission denied". Using "open" I can see the lease "starts" and "ends" in some representation of hex (explanation anyone?), but for whatever reason I am unable to modify the lease - am I doing something wrong? I'd very much not to stop/edit/start dhcpd, but so far it's all that works.

Thanks!
