Problems with settings ends statement (was: Remove Lease via omshell)

[Marc Perea]

I don't know if this was finally patched into any of the current releases, but I had to patch in the ability to modify the ends time on my version and then recompile dhcpd. Again, I do an ends = 0 just to make less calculations by scripting (instead of find out what value is in starts, parse that out and apply it to ends), but this patch makes it writable. HTH!

This makes "ends" writable for a lease via OMAPI. I have not tried anything 
beyond ends = starts, but this made the lease immediately available for a
new 
client.
