Well... it is possbile... that there was an old problem with Redhat
5.x, where you had to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf. If you don't use nis, or
nis+ remove all refereces to it. This has 'fixed' most proples problem
with
regard to that. Now I can't say this is right, and I did not get the
fix
driectly from Redhat. I just reported it to the Redhat Install list, and
another fellow who had created a trouble ticket, forwarded the fix to
me.

That was quite a while ago, but It works fine....

thanks,

Joshua.

As far as DHCP - I am clueless.
