This was fixed quite a long time ago. The current version of dhcp is dhcp-3.0.1-7. This will not be available for RHEL-3 until Update 4. Meanwhile, you can get the RPMS for dhcp-3.0.1-6 compiled for RHEL-3 at: http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/DHCP/RHEL-3/ or you can download the latest source RPM: ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com:/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/dhcp-3.0.1-7.src.rpm and build it with: $ rpmbuild --rebuild dhcp-3.0.1-7.src.rpm and install the resulting rpms in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS Is there a reason why this can't be updated NOW via up2date rather than having to wait for RHEL Update 4, especially if it was fixed "quite a long time ago"? All Enterprise Linux packages must undergo rigorous testing, and none can be modified unless Red Hat customer support escalate a bug against a package to "blocking" or "must fix". DHCP 3.0.1 (released by ISC in July) is undergoing testing and will be in RHEL-3-U4 because it fixes a "must fix" bug - meanwhile it has been available in FC2 and rawhide (FC3/RHEL-4) . It should be easy to fix the problem in the current release of dhcp 3.0pl2-6.14.1 The following change in /sbin/dhclient-script shouldn't need any huge QA resources. -driftfile /etc/ntp/data/drift +driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift Is there any chance to get this small change before U4? BTW the Resolution of CURRENTRELEASE is wrong, CURRENTRELEASE is U3 which doesn't have the fix, ERRATA or RAWHIDE should be better. dhcp-3.0.1-10 is the current dhcp release in RHEL-3-U4, and it does fix this problem. Yes 3.0.1-10 fixes the problem but RHEL-3-U4 hasn't been *released* yet. Look for example at bugs: 109528, 118839, 119442, 114890. All of them are fixed in U4 but they haven't been closed since U4 isn't available yet..... RHEL-3-U4 will be released by the end of this week. Meanwhile, you can download the dhcp-3.0.1-10_EL3 packages from: http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/DHCP/RHEL-3 By the end of this week wow. I am sure i heard December last time i asked and thats why i complained about U4 not being the *current* release. Thanks, you just made my day. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
