Forgot to post my dhcpd.conf file. 10.1.1.0 is another internal net housing
a DHCP server, firewall and gateway to the internet. In production, this
will be replaced by a DSL modem which is given a dynamic IP address. Right
now, it looks like this:
dhcp client ----- 192.168.1.0 ----- (eth1 - dhcp server) RH6.2 (eth0 - dhcp
client) ----- 10.1.1.0 ---- (private if, dhcp server) Gateway (public if to
internet) --->
Gateway will be replaced by a DSL modem, and 10.1.1.0 will become an ISP
assigned address.
Here's the file:
#server-identifier DSLRouter;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.199;
option domain-name-servers 10.1.1.1;
option domain-name "MyDomain.com";
}
subnet 10.1.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {}
subnet 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 {}
subnet 0.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {} **[I added this to try to squelch
the error, but no joy]
And below is my /etc/conf.linuxconf file. I've found that if I comment out
the 'module.list 1 dhcpd' line and reboot, all comes up OK and dhcpd stays
resident. However, the line gets automagically readded to the file, so the
next reboot results in the failure again. Best guess is that I have a
corrupt config file somewhere, but again, I'm at a loss re: where to look
for it.

Subject: dhcpd starts, then quits re: net 0.0.0.0
I'm at my wit's end (yes, that's a singular wit -- all I have left :). I
have 2 RH boxes, a 6.1 and a 6.2, both running kernel 2.2.16-3. Both are
configured identically as far as dhcpd is concerned (as far as I can tell),
yet the 6.1 box works and the 6.2 doesn't. The 6.2 box starts dhcpd
successfully, then later (still pre-login) kills it due to no definition for
eth1 0.0.0.0 (huh??????). I can't find where this net is being defined,
assuming that's the cause. Of course the 6.2 box is the "real" one, and the
6.1 box was for testing purposes only, and they can't be swapped.
After startup, if I login and then run '/etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd start', all
is OK. Of course, this is not adequate, as I won't be at the client's 24/7
waiting for power outages.
Relevant config files follow, as well as /var/log/messages for both
machines. Looking for where to look next -- see **[...] for my comments.
TIA...
