[boot-script(7) pointed-to by intro(7), you mean] And also by dhcpd(8) . You would need to add there: "see boot-scripts(7) for locations of extra config files used by the dhcpd init script, which is how you normally run dhcpd on a RedHat system." You shouldn't have to look at the init.d script for that. You shouldn't have to guess that. It should be in the man page. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
