Fedora Core 4: FEDORA-2005-547 Critical: DHCP Flood Prevention

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol which allows

individual devices on an IP network to get their own network

configuration information (IP address, subnetmask, broadcast address,

etc.) from a DHCP server. The overall purpose of DHCP is to make it

easier to administer a large network. The dhcp package includes the

DHCP server and a DHCP relay agent.

You should install dhcp if you want to set up a DHCP server on your

network. You will also need to install the pump package, which

provides the DHCP client daemon, on client machines.

- Fix bug 159929: prevent dhclient flooding network on repeated DHCPDECLINE

- dhclient fast startup:

remove dhclient's random 1-5 second delay on startup if only

configuring one interface

remove dhclient_script's "sleep 1" on PREINIT

- fix new gcc-4.0.0-11 compiler warnings for binding_state_t
