Motivation for this change

I was suprised to find that the dhcpd4 module hard-codes authoritative mode at the top of the config file. Its reasonable default, but there are circumstances where it may be wise to resuse a configuration for multiple DHCP servers within a subnet, but with only a single authoritative server.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

There are circumstances where running secondary DHCP servers in
non-authoritative mode is advantageous. Retain the previous
authoritative behavior as a default.
