Did you use 'su' or 'su -' to login? Do the latter to have all of the
*/sbin stuff in your $PATH.
Have you run yum update yet? As I recall, there was an issue with DHCPD with a
fresh install. You had to turn off Selinux to get it to work. Subsequent
updates fixed that - search the archives of this list around the time FC5 was
released to get precise details.

And the error is?
Did you install the dhcp package?
What does "chkconfig --list dhcpd" show?
[root@linux ~]# chkconfig --list dhcpd
dhcpd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
In response to Steven Pasternak regarding su or su - I logged in with
su - also tried it with the gui interface to start services and all it
does is "spin" for ever pretending it is try to start. Selinux is
already set to permissive.
I'll take a look at the archive to see if there is a clue there to the
problem

When you start it, it should post some messages to /var/log/messages -
can you look at these and post them to the list.

I didn't have a /etc/dhcpd.conf the other day. It was a fresh install of FC5.
I copied /usr/share/doc/dhcp-3.0.3/dhcpd.conf.sample to
/etc/dhcpd.conf, edited it, and it started right up.

I was not aware of this log file, my guess is the problem may be
contained in these lines. The format of my number netmask combination
is correct.

OK, can you post your dhcpd.conf file as well - it seems that the
problem is there.

I have made a change in my dhcp.conf file and I think I am past that
part now or at least the message log file does not indicate that as
part of the problem. I still have to deal with the lines relating to
key.
my dhcp file is now (with the firewall I am behind it probably does
not matter that much if I left the network part of the address in the
IP address but feel it is best to remove them just in case)
