General Questions

I have a problem with m0n0wall that I have a work around for.  I would like a real solution.  This m0n0wall installation is in a public place and I have had to set the DHCP server to give out ~2032 IP’s.  There are lots of phones that come in and pick up an IP.  My issue is that after several days the / file system fills up.  It looked to be that the DHPC lease info is filling up /.  My work around is to reboot about once a week.  I run this on a Pentium 4 with 512mb ram and would like to have it were / does not fill up.  Is there a m0n0wall download that has a larger /?  If not is there another way to fix this issue?

Another solution would be to automate a reboot.  Has anyone somehow scheduled a reboot of a m0n0wall server?  If so how?

what size does the lease file become and are you using 1.32 ?

In /var/db/dhcpd.leases is 429,280 bytes and /var/db/dhcpd.leases~ is 573,005 bytes.  I also notice I am running version 1.3.  / is currently currently 94% used.  When / gets to 96% it can get to 100% in less than a day.

so , not 1.32 ?  1.32 implemented a shorter cycle of the lease file for dhcp server, so it shouldn't be as big.

I will update to 1.32.  Hopefully this will help.

ok, to clarify, in 1.31

- patch to DHCP server daemon to reduce lease file growth

normally the lease file should cycle every 1hr, we reduced this to 5 minutes
