Working on PXE booting I used this script from...
http://eduardo-lago.blogspot.com/201...-diskless.html
... as my test DHCP script. Worked fine for loading (though the test got stuck on my init setup...) the first time I tried it. I had made a backup of my working config & pxeboot config, so I could swap them in and out of dhcpd.conf as needed (until I learn how to put them together into one one working config). When I copied the dhcpd.conf_pxeboot_config back to dhcpd.conf I got the error the service could not be started.
So I was wondering... what is wrong with this script:
vi dhcpd.conf_pxeboot_config
# dhcpd.conf
#
# DHCP configuration file for ISC dhcpd
#
# Use this to enble / disable dynamic dns updates globally.
