Subject: [K12OSN] Upgrading 4.4 wipes /etc/dhcpd.conf
I recently read a post about an upgrade wiping dhcpd.conf. It happened
to me yesterday on two boxes that I upgraded. I am about to have to
deliver new dhcpd.conf files via floppy.
The scenario on both boxes: running 4.4.1 on an amd opteron, 4 gb ram,
10k sata drive. I ran yumex, refreshed the package list, and installed
the updates. The clients stopped working.
I checked repos, saw that k12ltsp continues not to remain checked off,
selected it, and refreshed the package list. Now there was a dhcp
update from the k12 repository. I was relieved that help was a download
away. This did not fix the problem.
Both servers now have a blank dhcpd.conf file. There is no backup, no
rpmsave file, nothing. Running 'updatedb' and 'locate dhcpd.conf' does
not reveal a misplaced file. The update simply breaks the installation.
Heads up. 4.4 issues persist, and Open Office still opens slowly.

I had this problem last weekend, and got it (sort of) resolved by
rebuilding the dhcp.conf by hand.
I think there's some mistakes in the one I made, but I could not for the
life of me find the file online. I'm no slouch at Googling either.
Can someone post a default 4.4.1 dhcp.comf to the list that will be
easily findable in the future, or is it already in some obvious location
that I overlooked?
Thanks!
