I seem to be unable to get dhcpd to offer leases annonymously,
IE to machines not explicitly listed with their ether net addresses
in /lib/ndb/local.

I run it as:
	ip/dhcpd 192.186.0.32 128
I see the addresses listed in /lib/ndb/dhcp

My /lib/ndb/local includes a network definition:

	ipnet=colebrook ip=192.168.0.0 ipmask=255.255.255.0
		ipgw=192.168.0.1
		dns=194.168.4.100 dns=194.168.8.100
		dnsdomain=quintile.net
		nntp=news.ntlworld.com
		smtp=smtp.ntlworld.com
		ntp=gb.public.ntp.get-time.net
		authdom=home.quintile.net
		auth=felix
		cpu=felix
		fs=felix

Why won't dhcpd offer my wifes mac an IP address?

A cursory look at the source didn't explain it, and
the manual infers this should work:

	 DHCP requests are honored if either:
          - there exists an NDB entry containing both the ethernet
          address of the requester and an IP address on the originat-
          ing network or subnetwork.
          - a free dynamic address exists on the originating network
          or subnetwork.
