I am running a Cisco based network with many linux boxes.

Somewhere in the mix I have a DHCP server that is serving out improper addresses. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way that with management tools i could locate the address from which they originate on the Cisco stack so I could locate the machine.

Any help would be welcome.

Thanks,

Try doing an nmap UDP scan and look for port 67 open. That is the standard UDP DHCP port. Or you can do a "ps -A" on all your boxes and see if there's a service named something like "DHCPd"
