Re: NetworkManager does not like my dhcp offer

[Bill Moss <bmoss CLEMSON EDU>]

DHCP spoofing can occur when someone installs a rouge DHCP server on a 
network. We have this problem on our campus. Students are not allowed to 
install their own AP but this year one of our graduate students has done 
it twice. When the rouge AP is configured as a DHCP server, your machine 
can be offered an ip address that is a duplicate of one already in use. 
If you know the info for the 'legal' DHCP server, you can spot the 
rouge. Our campus network services squashes rouges as soon as they show up.
