I'm trying to install a DHCP server on a computer with FC4 installed from scratch. When I start the DHCP server with `service dhcpd start` or `/etc/init.d/dhcpd start` it fails and I get either "Can't open lease database /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases: Permission denied" or "Can't bind to dhcp address: Permission denied" in /var/log/messages. I tried investigating with lsof and netstat, without sucess; then I ran `dhcpd -f -d eth0` and that seems to work. At least the server starts without complaining (and says it succeeded to start in the syslog). Now for the surprise: next I tried `sh -x /etc/init.d/dhcpd start` and that starts the server successfully! And so does `sh /etc/init.d/dhcpd start`. What's going on? The dhcpd is the one that comes on the FC4 DVD. While googling around I saw mentions of problems with SELinux, so before someone asks yes it's enabled on my system (although I still have to learn what good I can draw from it ;-)). -- Jean-Louis Leroy Sound Object Logic http://www.soundobjectlogic.com
