G'day all, I'm just starting to get to know dhcp and have got stuck very early on with the dhcp parser rejecting dhcpd.conf as shown below: Feb 17 16:46:36 dell dhcpd: /etc/dhcpd.conf line 4: expecting a parameter or declaration Feb 17 16:46:36 dell dhcpd: default-lease-time 600; Feb 17 16:46:36 dell dhcpd: ^ The dhcpd.conf file is very basic to begin with: [root@dell network-scripts]# cat /etc/dhcpd.conf #Sample /etc/dhcpd.conf # (add your comments here) ddns-update-style none; default-lease-time 600; max−lease−time 7200; #option subnet−mask 255.255.255.0; #option broadcast−address 192.168.1.255; option routers 192.168.1.254; #option domain−name−servers 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2; #option domain−name "mydomain.org"; authoritative; subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.199; } [root@dell network-scripts]# All the examples I can find have a similar line for default lease time (line 4 here), but the parser seems to want more. There is nothing after the ";" so what do I need? -- Regards, Simon Slater Registered Linux User #463789.
