Was anyone able to verify anything from my last post? Does anyone else see
this issue with cobbler-2.0 on Fedora 11?
#1. the cobbler dhcpd check fails even though isc dhcp is installed.
#2. /etc/dhcp.conf versus /etc/dhcpd.conf (or /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf) Which on
is correct?
Please advise as it is really hard to accurately test and use cobbler with
these discrepancies.
