netreg-users: dhcpd.conf generation problems

[Paul Delys]

Hi,

We're happy users of NetReg 1.1.7 here at the Geophysical Institute 
where we serve dhcp and dns for about 800 machines. I've set up a 
test machine with the 1.1.9 tar.gz distribution in preparation for an 
upgrade. I like the history that is kept for registered machines. 

After fiddling around with web server and database permissions, 
everything works OK with my test system _except_ the dhcpd.conf file 
generation. If I convert our 1.1.7 data to 1.1.9, the generated 
dhcpd.conf file has empty class and subnet declarations and empty 
dynamic and static hosts sections. If I start from scratch with 
imported data from the distribution plus a small number of newly 
input local zones, subnets, static and dynamic machines, and subnet 
pool registrations, the dhcpd.conf file still doesn't properly 
generate in exactly the same way.  

I've tried both Fedora Core 5 and Slackware 10.2 with MySQL 4.0.27. 
The command and output I've been using to generate the file are 
pasted below. I must be overlooking something obvious, but poring 
over the docs, rechecking the config and looking at source code 
haven't turned anything up for me yet. Any ideas?

Thanks,
