I have lost the original post, but someone asked how to install dhcpd on a Red Hat 7.1 deluxe work station. I don't use my RH box for this so consider this post a pure public service. I couldn't find the rpm on my cd either, so I downloaded it from the Red Hat web site, which was quite easy, and didn't require any login. They just GIVE this stuff away! (http://www.redhat.com/swr/i386/dhcp-2.0-12.i386_dl.html) When I ran rpm -i,the post install scripts wouldn't run. Maybe because there was no /etc/dhcpd.conf file yet. I made the .conf file, and dhcpd wouldn't run because there was no lease file. I made that by hand (touch) and then all seemed to work with just running dhcpd. I haven't tried to start it with the startup script.
