DHCP release configuration

[Daniel Garcia]

Hey Ive tried this, I put lease=20 in /usr/local/etc/chilli/local.conf, restarted chilli service and still the DHCP was only released after 10 mins.

Is there anything else I am missing? I am using Coova 1.0.11

See http://coova.org/wiki/index.php/CoovaChilli/chilli.conf(5)

The options can go on the command line (with the --lease=120 format) or
in the configuration file (on one line, put lease=20
in /usr/local/etc/chilli/local.conf
