I am not getting any problems from my logs at all,
The strange thing here is that if I run "service named stop" then nfs works.
I manufacture PCs and you will be happy to know that I have already built
approx 4000 systems loaded with FC1 / 2 Linux this year. To speed up the
installations via the network I setup a dns server and a dhcp to assign IPs
and host names to the computers. The problem I am faced with is possibly a
config problem in my dhcp file. The server is not assigning the host names, I
also can't use mac address statements because the PCs are always new. In
other words I want the dhcp to assign an IP on a random basis, if for example
the IP is 192.168.2.1 then make that PCs hostname station1.domainname.
If a PC is unplugged from the network then it must make that IP immediatley
available again.
Here is my dhcpd.conf file could someone please give me a hint:
