Hi all,

There's 2 parts to DHCP you could have installed , a client for obtaining an adderss, and a server part for issuing leases to DHCP clients.

On my box, I find :

fir:/var # rpm -qa |grep dhcp
dhcp-3.0.6-24
dhcp-client-3.0.6-24
dhcp-server-3.0.6-24
dhcp-tools-1.6-102
dhcpcd-1.3.22pl4-287

fir:/var # ps aux |grep dhcp
root 2326 0.0 0.0 2128 900 ? Rs 19:15 0:00 /sbin/syslog-ng -a /var/lib/dhcp/dev/log
root 3485 0.0 0.0 1628 236 ? Ss 19:15 0:00 /sbin/dhcpcd -d -C -K -N -Y -t 999999 -c /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/dhcpcd-hook eth1
root 18945 0.0 0.0 2036 640 pts/2 R+ 19:55 0:00 grep dhcp

fir:/var # rpm -qf /sbin/dhcpcd
dhcpcd-1.3.22pl4-287


If you're looking for the source, code download a src rpm for what you're interested in. Or do another lookup like this :

fir:/var # rpm -qil dhcpcd
