I am trying to make a Centos 5.5 to
NIS server for authantication

I have installed CentOS 5.5 Successfully, Now i tried to install dhcp
edited /etc/dhcpd.conf

subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0;
{
#default gateway
option routers 10.0.0.254 ;
option subnet-mask 255.0.0.0;
range 10.0.0.10 10.0.0.50;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
}

did chkconfig dhcpd on
--it ON on 345
did service dhcpd start
-- failed

I don't use CentOS but here is a link to a tutorial on installing:

The Perfect Server - CentOS 5.2 | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials

If that doesn't have all the information you need, google "centos perfect server" or just centos server.

It doesn't seem to like the "8H"? Sorry, I can't help as my only experience with servers is on local machines and never set up DNS. Hopefully, someone with a little more knowledge will come along.
