dhcp config question

Hi All,
Running RHEL4 and wish to setup dhcpd. I have it runing ok but what I want to
do is set it up so that it doesn't just give away IP addresses freely. What
I want to do is only allow the hosts as specified in the host declaration to
get IP addresses. Because I only have a couple hosts to look after, I am
assigning IP's based on mac's; like so:
host shaka {
hardware ethernet 00:48:54:8B:C5:38;
option host-name "shaka";
fixed-address 192.168.1.4;
}
Now I have 10 such entries in the dhcpd.conf file. If an unknown laptop/pc
plugs into the network I don't want the server to give out an address but
right now it does.
How do I stop from going so?
Thank you in advance,
Phil
