Which DHCP server is it? Is it ISC's dhcpd? If so there should be a dhcpd.conf file somewhere, depending on your distro, with configurable parameters in there that you can change. And I think dhclient.conf is the file that you actually use to id specific MAC addresses. Otherwise, find out which dhcpd is running and read its documentation. While the current set up you have is good in a security sense, it should be possible for you to change the policy to allow anyone to get an IP on the network.

You might want to find out why the previous admin limited the assignment of IPs thus, there could have been a good reason.

NAME

       dhclient.leases - DHCP client lease database

DESCRIPTION

       The  Internet  Software Consortium DHCP client keeps a persistent database of leases that it has acquired that are still valid.	 The data-
       base is a free-form ASCII file containing one valid declaration per lease.   If more than one declaration appears for a	given  lease,  the
       last one in the file is used.   The file is written as a log, so this is not an unusual occurrance.

       The format of the lease declarations is described in dhclient.conf(5).

FILES

       /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases

SEE ALSO

       dhclient(8), dhcp-options(5), dhclient.conf(5), dhcpd(8), dhcpd.conf(5), RFC2132, RFC2131.
