bootpd [1880] error

[Timothy P. Jackson]

Hi Everyone,

I keep getting this error in my syslog.log file.

bootpd[1880]: Option 43: Client specified unacceptable option length (114 octets)

Does any one know why this is happening?

I have searched the forums and either I missed it or I am not looking in the right place.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated!!

Can you say what kind of clients or work you are doing?

Is it an Ignite boot?

If its not Ignite/UX it may simply be an incompatible client.

Thanks for the response Stephen!

The only thing I can think of is that I recently implemeted CIFS and SUDO. Is there any way of tracking what is generating the error? I am not sure where to start, but I do know that it is not Ignite/UX because I am not using it.

Hey Zigor,

I checked this link out and things are much clearer now! Unfortunately I cannot set up the bootd in debug mode until Monday morning. Hopefully it will tell me what I need to know.

If any one can thing of any thing else I can do please let me know!

Thanks,
Tim
