Howdy, Yeah, this issue’s been brought up in the past. One of the maintainer of FC 13 made the srpm available (I believe he prepped the spec file) for RHEL/CentOS 5 for dhcpd 4.1. We started looking at it and the problems are the dependencies and the dependencies of the dependencies. There are no srpms or rpms for those and the project becomes a real monster. We’ve found the problem is generally caused by the time being out of sync between the servers or the dhcpd daemon on one of the boxes dies. To mitigate this problem we’ve setup custom Nagios alerts which utilize dhcping to alert us when a dhcpd process dies. We’ve also setup custom scripts that will restart the dead process on the box. So, we’re just waiting for CentOS 6 to be released. ____________________________ Matt Ausmus Network Administrator Chapman University 635 West Palm Street Orange, CA 92868 (714)628-2738 mausmus at chapman.edu <mailto:mausmus at chapman.edu> "Nothing is ever accomplished by a reasonable man." -Bucy’s Law From: Waleed Harbi [mailto:waleed.harbi at gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 1:49 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] dhcpd rpm Try find-out SPEC file and rpm source, recompile it, this is the faster way I think, if you have big issue.

And with 6 coming soon, I was thinking, though I haven't gone to look, that they'd have 3.1 or 4.x. Thanks, though. mark _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
