    We upgraded to 2.1-BETA0 (i386) built on Thu Sep 13 21:17:01 EDT 2012 and now we are receiving the following error on DHCPD service start…

    Sep 14 10:14:32 dhcpd: ^
    Sep 14 10:14:32 dhcpd: /etc/dhcpd.conf line 33: expecting right-hand side.
    Sep 14 10:14:32 dhcpd: match if substring (hardware, 1, 1) = ;

    Sep 14 10:14:32 dhcpd: submitting bug reports and requests for help.

    When looking in the /var/dhcpd/etc/dhcpd.conf file, I see the following entry...

    class "" {
            match if substring (hardware, 1, 1) = ;
    }

    I'm assuming this is a bug since it wasn't there before the upgrade.

      See the other forum post on this: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,53647.0.html
      JimP's latest commit should have fixed it.

      As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."
