have you defined those options? do you wish to use ldap? no to both? then there's no problem is there? just ignore the message, or possibly lower the level of debugging if that's possible.

You can use an LDAP server to provide mac->ip mappings (and other information) to the DHCP server as needed. In most non-enterprise environments, this is a non-issue.
