G'day Howard, There are a couple of things to check. Do the machines that this is working for already have a hostname defined (init scripts)? Can you force one of the clients to renew their lease and see what happens. I believe you can ask dhcp to give some more output than normal with a command line option(-d) and this usually gives a better idea as to why it is not working. Are any of the machines RH6.x as there are some problems with is dhcp client. ---Gareth Walters -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
