A new error now being reported is this: "Can't open

it just fine...could this be Selinux causing the "unable to open"? I
just checked sealerts and there are none...
Googling this can't open dhcpd.leases error found a closed bugzilla
report - this problem was supposedly fixed, and the bugzilla report was
marked as closed; I've added a comment which I hope will yield a reply.

This turned out to be an issue with the permissions on dhcpd.leases
file. The owner of the bug from Redhat responded in timely fashion and
suggested a few things. I discovered that the file permissions had been
set to root:root and I changed them to dhcpd:dhcpd - then, I discovered
that the dhcpd service had been disabled at some point along the way.
Running "systemctl enable dhcpd.service" as root set it to autostart at
boot. After making those two changes and rebooting, I now have dhcp
server working again. Thanks to all for your help in this three-layered
problem.
