Captive Stopped

[Marco Simioni]

Hi.

If i remember correctly, on two of my machines the process was still
running, but the clients could never get DHCP address and login page.

I found that it seemed to occur while reloading config file and DNS
look-up: this was the last line written in the log file.

I had to disable automatic config reload and automatic DNS look-up,
adding the interval parameter to the startup script, and now the
problem has gone.

Please notice that i didn't modify anything on the configuration
files: the process was running for days, all was ok, suddenty it
stopped answering DHCP requests, but the process was running. This
happened several times, and after several days.

I think it has to do with DNS look-up or something like this.

I hope this could help.

Regards,

Marco
