Comment 16 for bug 1189571

dhcpd fails after a while with:

Feb 11 17:19:18 pent dhcpd: Timeout requested too large reducing to 2^^32-1
Feb 11 17:19:18 pent dhcpd: Unable to set up timer: out of range
Feb 11 17:19:18 pent dhcpd[29451]: Timeout requested too large reducing to 2^^32-1

dhcp-4.2.3-6.P2.fc16.x86_64

Removing or modifying lease options below seems to make no difference. I don't know of a work-around.

dhcpd.conf is:
