Installing DHCPD in a jail

[balanga]

I'm trying to install a dhcp server in a jail, and am confused as to where to keep the conf file....

Where do I need to set ?

dhcpd_enable="YES"

Is it /etc/rc.conf or $JAIL/etc.conf ?

After installing isc-dhcp a msg is displayed:-

**** WARNING: never edit the chrooted or jailed dhcpd.conf file but
/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf instead which is always copied where
needed upon startup.

I can figure out how to start dhcp.... I know I need to run

service isc-dhcpd status

but is this from a FreeNAS shell or from with the jail where dhcpd is installed

You need to be doing all of this inside the DHCP jail you created. Don't try to add any of this to the base FreeNAS system.

When configuring jail functions, everything should be contained within the jail.

Why would you run any commands intended for your jail within your host?

OK, but can you explain why this msg is displayed?

Very confusing...

Also, what should be the value of dhcpd_ifaces? Is it the same as that used by the host? In my case em0

I don't really know what tutorial you are following, but things WITHIN the jail are seen as their own server/instance.

Are you familiar with how a VM works?

I wasn't following a tutorial, merely reporting what was displayed after installing isc-dhcp-server.

When you are in a jail, the components within the jail don't know they are in a jail. They think they are their own system.

Hi. I just did the same install. It's at the end of the package as a message. It should be corrected upstream at ports. It is incorrect and misleading.
