    I know this thread has been discussed pretty thoroughly, but, there
is a syntax error in the above line, that nobody else seems to have
caught.  According to the specs, the first byte of the
dhcp-client-identifier parameter is supposed to be a type indicator to
indicate what kind of data follows.  For an ethernet MAC address, the
type is "1", so the above line should read:

	send dhcp-client-identifier 1:8:0:20:10:1d:55;


     While we're on the subject of DHCP, I have a couple questions...
How do you dhcpd to give a client a fixed address based on either the
hostname, or the dhcp-client-identifier (preferably the hostname)?  The
second question is does anybody have any sample scripts that use the
new dhclient-script hooks.  What I want is a script that will execute a
command, anytime the IP address changes.  As you can probably guess,
this is for registering a dynamic address.
