ignoring dhcp overrides.

[Torg]

I have a problem booting minimyth via pxe boot, and loading a ram disk. This all works except ignoring dhcp overrides. The minimyth.conf file is loaded and it is correct

From the back end:

Code: Select all

root@backend:/tftpboot/conf/default# md5sum minimyth.conf 
a7c45f7e9e5f531baf827f45de4018f7  minimyth.conf
root@jachin:/tftpboot/conf/default# grep DHCP minimyth.conf 
# DHCP overrides configuration variables.
MM_DHCP_HOST_NAME = 'diskless'
MM_DHCP_DOMAIN_NAME = '<redacted>'
MM_DHCP_TCODE = 'America/Chicago'
MM_DHCP_DOMAIN_NAME_SERVERS = '10.1.1.161'
MM_DHCP_NTP_SERVERS = '10.1.1.161'
MM_DHCP_LOG_SERVERS = '10.1.1.161'

From the minimyth box

Code: Select all

root@?:/etc/minimyth.d # md5sum minimyth.conf 
a7c45f7e9e5f531baf827f45de4018f7  minimyth.conf

As you can see it does not set a host name. Additionally /etc/conf.d shows both minimyth and dhcp.override but those values are blank.

Of course this caused minymyth not to boot and errors out with:

In your post, there is a space before and after the equal sign (=) for each variable. Is this the case? If so, then the values will be ignored as all minimyth.conf is doing is setting shell environment variables, and the setting of shell environment variables does not tolerate the whitespace.
