   Well... it is possbile... that there was an old problem with Redhat
5.x, where you had to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf.  If you don't use nis, or
nis+ remove all refereces to it.  This has 'fixed' most proples problem
with
regard to that.  Now I can't say this is right, and I did not get the
fix 
driectly from Redhat. I just reported it to the Redhat Install list, and 
another fellow who had created a trouble ticket, forwarded the fix to
me.

That was quite a while ago, but It works fine....

As far as DHCP - I am clueless.
