Re: [TCLUG:1255] dhcpd problem



Try tcpdump. This will dump out everything that goes over the wire. I
actually used it the other day to fix one of my dhcp problems. If you
have more than one interface make sure you are monitoring the correct
one. (-i eth0 for example)

I think tcpdump in on RH5.1 by default.
