Eric, and Paul

All I did was "yum udpate" and then /etc/dhcpd.conf was replaced
with the "blank" file containing just the three commented out lines
with a timestamp of Oct 17 12:35.

fyi (if it's of help):

That was it, then I lost my dhcp. (and of course no backup file that I
could find easily, but fortunately I didn't have any customization,
so the standard k12ltsp file worked ok)  This was on my home system
that's been upgraded many times up to the current version.

Maybe it's just a fluke, but I hope it isn't a major gotcha for
systems that were upgraded automatically over the weekend.

Thanks. -- Pat
