udhcpd host name issue

[Mahavir Jain]

Hello,

I have dhcp server configured in busybox 1.13.3. , but for me it is
very difficult identify clients based on

dumpleases -f udhcpd.lease file . This file gives me idea of connected
clients with mac address & assigned lease.

But i could see that it is very easy to get host name of client in
bootp protocol with DHCP_HOST_NAME macro in busybox.
Following patch (attached) does trick for me , which gives me good
idea about clients.

Though not sure it works for me.



As previously suggested by vda  that dumpleases -a option is broken &
following patch is needed.
Why yet this is not included in busybox stable 1.13.3. ...?

dumpleases  -a option
is supposed to show "absolute" expiration time, but is broken.
Add these lines in networking/udhcp/dumpleases.c:

              } else /* -a */
+{
+                      expires += time(NULL);
                      fputs(ctime(&expires), stdout);
+}

to fix it.


Appreciate your kind feedback & suggestions.


Thanks
