As much as an editor and PPP are, yes -- without it, some people simply *cannot* get on the net. >Anyone putting any DHCP functionality in should look >very seriously at any possibilities of combining the functionality, >rather than creating what amounts to a degree of redundancy. I think isc-dhcp can do both; however, it may only be the server that has that functionality. >I personally would prefer to see DHCP left a port. How would someone on a network and without a CD-ROM install it? (I recently had the joy of doing this, incidently... I ended up unplugging one of the other computers and using is IP address until the installation was complete.) That, I believe, is the reason that it's time to consider putting it in. (I've only used the ISC code, and, for several reasons, am biased in its favour, but I don't think it really matters.)
