Upgrading DHCP
Recently I upgraded the default DHCPd RPM from Novell to a direct download from ISC.org. When I did that I had problems with the line:
option slp-service-scope true "default';
I had to add:
option slp-service-scope code 79 = {boolean, text};
before this line:
option slp-service-scope true "default";
This could be something Novell changed in the code, or maybe just something that was left out of version changes from ISC. It took me a bit to find this though.
Maybe this can help someone else.
If you choose to go through this option, I also suggestion copying these two files before uninstalling the DHCP RPM:
/etc/init.d/dhcpd
and
/etc/sysconfig/dhcp

It was contributed by a community member and is published "as is." It seems to have worked for at least one person, and might work for you. But please be sure to test, test, test before you do anything drastic with it.
