Oliver Sampson: >>> When I start dhcpd manually from the command line, everything works >>> dandily Exactly how do you start if from the command line? I have a DHCP server, but it's run by the init.d/ scripts, when Fedora starts up. I haven't tried it manually. I would have suggested maybe SELinux would have been a cause of the problem, but I'd expect it to always fail, if that were the case. Do you get further clues in the log files about why it fails? -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
