Hi Fred, The difference between the dhcp.leases and dhcp.leases~ file is that the file with a ~ at the end is the backup leases file. 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.
