Dhcp

I need steps-by-step help to configure RHE4 as a DHCP server. My book said /etc/dhcpd.conf, but I can't find that file. It's a test box with working DNS.

Thanks for the link. My problem is I don't have the /etc/dhcpd.conf file on my RHE4 box. Where can I dowload the dhcpd rpm or would it work to copy the file from the link you post and edited to my network.

Do rpm -qa dhcp - if you've got that then look for /usr/sbin/dhcpd. If you've got that then it likely didn't come with a conf file.

I noticed that my Debian installation did come with a dhclient.conf (with everything commented out) but my RedHat didn't. It may be that neither distro comes with a dhcp.conf and you've got to build it from scratch. Use man dhcp.conf to see what entries it should contain.
