Comment 5 for bug 392826

Jacob,

NM what I said about the assignment operator. Seems that is not true for the Bourne shell in the expression for a test or conditional clause. Also not true for dash (the sh replacement used in some systems), or even in other shells set for POSIX compliance. It is also true that the == operator is not valid in sh or dash.

That said, it looks like the problem is more related to the evolution from fixed configuration to dynamic to accommodate todays more dynamic hardware environment. Perhaps because a DHCP server is [wrongly] thought to be only useful in a non-dynamic server environment, we have this situation where the dhcp3-server configuration methods were abandoned rather than updated.

I don't grok the correct fix yet, but have found the logger command to be very useful in tracking down what is happening.
