dhcpd configuration question

[Edward L. Barnes]

Hi there Janina. 
First, do let the list or at least me (write to me direct if you'd like) 
know how you do with the ip masquerading stuff you wrote in about last 
week, I've been following that thread with alot of interest.
In regard to your other question about having dhcpd start only on the 
single interface you want it to send and receive on, for example, I 
believe that the following bit of info is what you're looking for. 
Of course, if it doesn't work, let me know.
You need to edit a file which influences dhcpd's behaviour.
That file is:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd 
Down under where it says starting daemons there'll be a line which will 
read something like:
daemon /usr/sbin/dhcpd $args
Replace that line with something like the following, of course, replace 
the interface eth1 with something else if needed.
daemon /usr/sbin/dhcpd eth1  
Then, of course, do service dhcpd restart to restart the daemon though 
you're a more experienced Linux user than I am so you undoubtedly 
already know that part.
Hth and good luck!

this is based entirely on a peculiar confusion of the words 'innovative'
and 'successful.' Microsoft products are successful -- they make a lot of
money -- but that doesn't make them innovative, or even particularly
good." -ROBERT X. CRINGELY
