Yes, I am--or at least I think so; the daemon is running, and it's
configured according the the Chapt 3 example. The /etc/resolv.conf file
says it's written by /etc/dhclient-script, so I disabled that file,
adjusted the resolv and tried again. No effect. Also, during reboot,
when dhcpd started up, I got the error message "Not configured to listen
on any interface. Wrote 5 new leases." When the reboot completed, I
had no Internet connection whatsoever. I had to re-enable
dhclient-script and reboot.
So I remain with the problems that I have no DNS resolution capability,
and I cannot edit, with permanence, /etc/resolv.conf. I'd probably be
satisfied with the latter if I could get DNS to work.
Thanks
