Description of problem:
The example dhcpd.conf file in the Red Hat Linux Configuration guide found at 
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/custom-guide/s1-dhcp-
configuring-server.html has an error in it. The argument to time-offset should 
be in seconds, not timezone.

This is the same problem as noted in bug # 26446, but the fix does not seem to 
have made it to the documentation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/custom-
guide/s1-dhcp-configuring-server.html
2. Scroll down to Example 12-1 and check out line 8.
3.
	

Actual Results:  Option listed as:
 option time-offset              -5;     # Eastern Standard Time

Expected Results:  Should be:
 option time-offset              -18000;     # Eastern Standard Time

Thanks for your report. I have fixed it in CVS for the next release
and in the HTML version on redhat.com/docs.
