I wonder if that is possible... the init script for dhcpd does a "restart" when it is told to "reload", so I would imagine that it is not possible to have dhcpd use a new configuration without stopping/starting it. If it is possible, then there is a bug in the init script :-) Also, I don't think it's such a big deal to have dhcpd stopped for less than a second since client usually flood with requests until they get a reply anyway ;-) Matthias -- Clean custom Red Hat Linux RPMs : http://freshrpms.net/ Red Hat Linux release 7.2 (Enigma) running kernel 2.4.9-7 Load : 0.09, AC on-line, battery charging: 100% (11:28) _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
