Slinky,

Awesome - I get lots of information now, such as:

Jun  1 14:11:53 localhost dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:16:ec:cc:d1:f6 via eth0

Jun  1 14:11:55 localhost in.tftpd[30132]: RRQ from 192.168.1.2 filename /pxelinux.cfg/default

So, I reread the man page, and it says that filename should be set to "pxelinux.0" and I had "/pxelinux.0", which is what dhcp.template came with (Should I file a ticket?).  So I changed that to "pxelinux.0", and attempted to run cobbler sync, which tells me:

[root at localhost ole]# cobbler sync
cannot find directory: -v

I tried restarting the cobbler daemon and doing cobbler sync and the same message appears.  Thoughts?

Thanks again,
- Ole
