Daniel Feenberg NBER >How-To-Repeat: man dhcpd and look for "run" then ls -l /var/run/dhcpd >Fix: Either change the documentation or the default location. Personally I think the location is the problem. What is the point of a directory with only one file? The directory doesn't hold the other dhcpd files (leases). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
