DHCP reservations not working
Yesterday I added a raspberry pi to my network (running Nagios/NEMS). Every time it rebooted it took the next IP in sequence. That shouldn't happen... Instead of fighting with it, I created a reserva...

It appears these things now need daily reboots. Unforunately, no scheduled reboot feature exists. Or a log of DHCP reservations. Or....
