Logging every packet that the DHCP server receives

[Sven Seelemann]

Hi,

I'm trying to determine why some class declarations of mine are fail - 
for a pool of over a thousand IPs I'm receiving an awful lot of "no free 
leases."

I'm trying to print via the log command parts of the DHCP packet. My log 
statements are before class statements as well as before the network 
description with its subnets and pools. That is, I think they should be 
global in scope.

Unfortunately, when I run in debug mode (or in deamon mode, fwtw) all I 
get are the "no free leases" error - I don't see my log message(s). In 
fact, the log message only shows up when the corresponding DHCP request 
is successful...

My log statements:

#  To find the relay agent IP address...
log (info, concat("Packet has ->", binary-to-ascii(16, 8, ":", 
packet(24,4))));
# To find the string added by the as a vendor supplied option...
#log (info, concat("Packet has in hex ->", binary-to-ascii(16, 8, ":", 
packet(346,4)), "<- or raw ->", packet(346,4)));
log (info, concat("Packet has in hex ->", binary-to-ascii(16, 8, ":", 
packet(388,4)), "<- or raw ->", packet(388,4)));

Any pointers on how to make dhcpd a little more verbose about what it 
doesn't like?

Thanks in advance,

Sven.
