I rebuilt the updated dhcp package to exclude the sample /etc/dhcpd.conf.
I also bumped up the version number for dhcp-ltsp-config, which
contains the K12LTSP version of /etc/dhcpd.conf, so it will automagically
be replaced for anyone who may have been bitten by this.
Pat, I cannot come up with a scenario that results in /etc/dhcpd.conf
being replaced and no /etc/dhcpd.conf.rpmsave backup copy being
created. How did you upgrade the dhcp package?
Every scenario I have tried the package manager did the right thing
(i.e. the working /etc/dhcpd.conf was not modified).
