Once again, I reply to myself, for the purpose of leaving a record. The problem with your suggestion was minor - there was no /etc/dhcp*. I'm presuming that the command stalled when it couldn't find that location. Removing that entry from the command and running it again reset the labels for /var/lib/dhcp to 'system' for all files within, and now all works. Thanks for the suggestion - I would have taken much longer to track this one down without it. Claude Jones Levit & James, Inc./WTVS Leesburg, VA, USA
