Great, I didn't know about that and apparently it's working fine now. I will
definitely prefer this method over my old one where I set up some hosts
manually and left the others (majority) for DHCP.
The problem that I found seems to be the dhcpd restart after modifying the
host table:

Sep 18 18:30:24 tga1 e-smith[32033]: Couldn't restart dhcpd at
/etc/e-smith/events/host-create/S90restart-dhcpd line 43.
It's working after restarting dhcpd manually via 'service dhcpd restart'.
Hm, there is NO symbolic link in /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/ here at all at the moment
therefore it can't find .../S65dhcpd for the restart ?????
All other runlevels have lots of symbolic link entries.
OK, I will report back to support.
