While trying to install the DHCP server daemon on FreeBSD 12.1, I got the error:-
Failed to start dhcpd. Could not find dhcp-sync in services file.
This actually means what it says. If you happen to have syncing of DHCP lease information enabled between multiple servers (master and back-ups in the same domain), then you need to add this line to the /etc/services file:-
dhcpd-sync 8067/udp # dhcpd(8) synchronisation
As the dhcpd (server process) runs as user “_dhcp”, you should probably make sure that “_dhcp” has write permission on the /var/db/dhcpd.leases file, too.
Hey WordPress, just a short note here (seeing as it’s next to impossible to write anything any longer) to let you know how much this user -detests- the new editor. Hope you’re not betting the farm on it.
