Duplicate lease, different ip.

[Douglas Power]

Hi All.

Result....

I managed to get a src.rpm for V3.0.5 from Novell added the patch to it.
Then build my own rpm, installed that and dhcpd starts up beautifully
through the init.d service and is chrooted.

Thank you one and all for you help/input it has been very informative.

Regards,

Doug.
