If your dhcpd.leases file becomes damaged you are supposed to copy the dhcpd.leases~ file to dhcpd.leases instead of just using an empty dhcpd.leases file (so that you do not totally lose your IP assignments). Your DHCP configuration is stored in /etc/dhcpd.conf - This is where the range of IP addresses the DHCP server gives out is specified. Ivan. On Wed, 23 Feb 2000, Fred J.
