sudo nano /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf brings up empty file

sudo nano /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf brings up empty file with no script

im attempting to set up a tor router by following these 2 tutorials but with little success
http://makezine.com/projects/make-36-bo ... -onion-pi/
http://learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pdf ... -point.pdf

i dont know if its also related to this but another problem im having is that each time i power up the pi it boots to setup config and i end having to enter my settings each start up.

I am having the same problem.

If it's Raspbian Jessie that you're running the file is /etc/dhcpcd.conf it's not in the /etc/dhcp sub-directory.

I am using Raspbian Wheezy May 2015 version

Then either upgrade to Jessie or do it the old way. Wheezy has static addresses in /etc/network/interfaces and still uses isc-dhcp-client rather than dhcpcd.

If it is a router that you want to setup, may be you are after a dhcp *server* and not the dhcpcd *client* daemon. If that is the case, install either isc-dhcp-server or dnsmasq. For the first one, after installing it, you should have a default configuration in the /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf file.

I am just trying to follow these instructions

Is isc-dhcp-server correctly installed?

Code: Select all

$ dpkg -l isc-dhcp-server

If properly installed, you should have a default /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf file which is the configuration file for the -isc-dhcp-server package.

What settings do you need to enter after boot?
