Hi,

I'm trying to use udhcp (integrated in busybox pre2) in a small network
of embedded devices. This seem to work great but, the leases file
lease time seems very wrong !

I have set the leases: (the default anyway)
  option  lease   864000          # 10 days of seconds

Starting the first client, the client reports success with a 
lease time of 864000 # 10 days of seconds as expected but looking
at udhcpd.leases with dumpleases reports:

# dumpleases -f /etc/udhcpd/udhcpd.leases
Mac Address       IP-Address      Expires in
00:d0:69:12:34:56 192.168.1.208   -682604737 seconds

and 

# hexdump /etc/udhcpd/udhcpd.leases
0000000 d000 1269 5634 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
0000010 a8c0 d001 50d7 3f47
0000018

Can someone please clue me in ??, also I was expecting to see the lease time
changing after SIGUSR1 but it doesn't ?

What am I missing  here ?

TIA,
    Frank.
