Where is DHCPD in FC10?

[bmduncan]

This is probably a very stupid question, but can someone please point me to where the RPM is for the DHCP daemon?

I was running FC6 and decided to upgrade to FC10, (by installing fresh and reconfiguring) I installed in text mode without Xwindows because this is a backend box that has no need for xwindows.

After installing and doing a yum search for DHCP I see nothing about DHCPD in the list. Other then gdhcpd.i386 which is some GTK+ tool

I searched the RPMS on the Fedora i386 DVD I have, nothing there either.. I am using the DVD ISO. not the live version or CD version.

I see references on rpm.phone.net to a src RPM for DHCP-4.0.0-30 and it says FC10 so why is there no RPM for this on the install DVD packages directory or when I search in Yum?

Thanks for any info.

yum list *dhcp*

Ok, no luck with that. :) The same results you mention.

yum provides */dhcpd

Wait while yum does its thing.... <snooze>

Ah, ok, the package dhcp should provide the server.

That provides thing is often quite handy.

I never knew till today you could search through packages in that manner.

I just did it with your syntax and sure enough it came up with

dhcp-4.0.0-33.fc10.i386 as one of the several hits..

Why it was not showing up in a standard yum search, or not included on the FC10 DVD install is beyond me. I had never run into this issue before.

I now have it installed.

I'm not quite sure how they set it up. They have dhclient as part of the default install, but looking through the DVD's packages, no it doesn't seem to be there. Like you, I have no idea, and find it a bit surprising. Maybe it's hidden somewhere since they should still have, when you customize the installation, the option for a DHCP server.

Hrm, next time I run an install, I'll have to check that.
As for the other question though, why it wouldn't show in a standard yum search would be because there isn't a package specifically called dhcpd. It's part of the dhcp package which also provides the relay agent.

Sometimes, a program that we expect to have its own package will be part of another package, or just have an unexpected name. Hence, the usefulness of "provides" :)

Anyway, glad it worked for you.
