Where can you input the DNS addresses you want to use, after you turn on DHCP? Thanks

Hi,

I suppose that you want to use SME as your local DHCP server, but not as your domain server (or at least, not as the only dns server).

The dhcpd configuration is in the file /etc/dhcpd.conf

from man dhcpd.conf :
option domain-name-servers ns1.isc.org, ns2.isc.org;

/etc/dhcpd.conf is a templatised file.
The fragment of interrest is :
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/dhcpd.conf/25DomainNameServers

You should copy this file in the template-custom directory :
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/dhcpd.conf
cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/dhcpd.conf/25DomainNameServers /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/dhcpd.conf/25DomainNameServers

Then, with your favorite file editor, just change the line to set the DNS servers you want.

you now need to expand the templete (to create a new /etc/dhcpd.conf file)
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/dhcpd.conf

And finally, you must restart the dhcpd daemon :
service dhcpd restart

That should do the work.

HTH,
