#63536: DHCP Server Not Issuing Leases
--------------------+--------------------
 Reporter:  Kyosho  |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  defect  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal  |  Milestone:
Component:  ports   |    Version:  2.7.1
 Keywords:          |       Port:  dhcp
--------------------+--------------------
 On macOS 11.6 Big Sur, I installed XCode, MacPorts and then BIND9 DNS. The
 DNS configuration appears to work well.

 Today I installed the MacPorts DHCP server. It appeared to install
 properly. When I run sudo port installed, it lists dhcp @4.1-ESV-R15-P1_1
 (active).

 I have configured the named.conf and dhcpd.conf files according to
 guidelines and used an rndc-key file I generated and include as a file in
 each config.

 I am unable to issue DHCP leases. I have check the dhcpd.leases file
 permissions and set the owner to the named:named user:group. Same for all
 the zone files in DNS.

 I have tested with Wireshark. I see DHCP DISCOVER requests coming in from
 test clients. But nothing further.

 The only syslog entry I see for DHCP is the following:
 Sep 25 18:41:11 MAC-DNS1 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (org.macports.dhcpd):
 Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds.

 I hope to attach my named.conf and dhcpd.conf files for you to inspect.

 Any ideas or suggestions? Do I have an error in the configuration?

 Thank you - Frank
