Hello Chris -
It is not possible to do what you request, because as the reference manual states (section 6.65), DHCP uses privileged port numbers, hence must be run as root (or at least with root privileges).
It is also not possible to run the DHCP server on the same host as Radiator (also due to port numbers).
BTW - you should use the latest DHCP server from www.isc.org and use the SubnetSelectionOption.
If you have any other questions, please contact me directly.
regards
Hugh

Hi all, I am wanting to use the DHCP address allocator but I don't want to run as root. I'm happy to start radiator as root then drop down to user 'radius' after the bind, but the "User" option in the server conf doesn't seem to do this. So, is it possible, and if not can this be a feature in later radiator versions?Cheers, Chris -- + Chris Myers ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Information Technology Services - Software Infrastructure .
