Greets all,

I installed 13.1 on my firewall and, much to my deep consternation,
dhcpd doesn't work. I'm sure it's my dhcpd.conf file, which (of
course) has been working fine for years until now. So, I spent quite a
bit of time with `man dhcpd.conf` and editing the file and restarting
the daemon, all with zero result. The thing just will not serve out
IP addresses. :(

So, if someone has dhcpd working on Slackware 13.1 would you please
please PLEASE post your dhcpd.conf file here? C'mon... I'll give ya
five bucks! :P

Hallo, Chris,

What about "dnsmasq" instead of the ISC "named" and "dhcp"? and "pump"
for getting the external DHCP server's data?

"dnsmasq" is part of slackware 13.1 (and older versions);
"pump":

Viele Gruesse

"Ubuntu" - an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".

It would be better if _you_ would post your dhcpd.conf file...

One quick check you can already make - is the following line present?
If not, your server will not hand out IP addresses:

authoritative;
