There is a catch-22 situation while attempting to start dhcpd. The following
test is on the init.d script:
[ -f /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases ] || exit 0
But wait, this is a first time install/run, so there won't be a leases file.
Until the daemon is run, the leases file won't be created :-) :-)
Has this been fixed in a later version? I'm running dhcp-2.0pl5-4.
In the meantime, I just touched the file to get past the startup problem.
All the HOWTO's I've seen recommend exactly that step before running dhcpd.
Doesn't seem like that would be an issue with dhcpd itself; wouldn't the fix be in either the RPM or the "make install" for the tarball (script either to drop an empty file there)?
