I'll add the -d flag to my rc.conf; are you using the latest version of the dhcp-server from ISC or something other? I looked for a 'debug' flag on the man page and didn't see it. What should I loook for in th logfile? or will it be obvious :-) thank, gary -- Gary Kline Seattle BSD Users' Group (seabug) | kline@magnesium.net Thought Unlimited Org's Alternate Email Site http://www.magnesium.net/~kline To live is not a necessity; but to live honorably...is a necessity. -Kant
