Description of problem: http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.4/html/Deployment_Guide/ch-dhcp.html A step is missing in Chapter 21. Between 21.1 and 21.2 there are no instructions for installing the packages needed for DHCP server. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.4 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 2.Attempt to follow procedure in 21.2 3.Observe that file /usr/share/doc/dhcp-<version>/dhcpd.conf.sample. does not exist Actual results: Unable to perform configuration Expected results: A procedure with instructions for verifying the necessary packages for a DHCP server are installed. If the packages are not installed, instructions for installing them. Additional info:
Tom is correct: the package is not installed, installation instructions are missing, and so too, therefore, are the config files. I have changed the text at the top of 21.2. Configuring a DHCP Server in 5.4 to read: [SNIP] The dhcp package contains an ISC DHCP server. First, install the package as the superuser: ~]# yum install dhcp Installing the dhcp package creates a file, /etc/dhcpd.conf, which is merely an empty configuration file: ~]# cat /etc/dhcpd.conf # # DHCP Server Configuration file. # see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample The sample configuration file can be found at /usr/share/doc/dhcp-<version>/dhcpd.conf.sample. You should use this file to help you configure /etc/dhcpd.conf, which is explained in more detail below. [/SNIP] Tom, does this documentation fix accord with you?
Verified. Closing.
