This is the first Beta release of the Internet Software Consortium
DHCP Server (ISC dhcpd). In this Beta release, support for the core
dhcpd matures. If you are building on BSD/os or NetBSD, just type
make - it should build with no problem.
-Last week (February 26-28), I brought ISC dhcpd to Connectathon and
-worked out many bugs. ISC dhcpd was able to boot all of the DHCP
-clients at Connectathon by the time I left. Many thanks to Audrey Van

general and helping me out in particular, and to all the other DHCP
Bakeoff participants at Connectathon who tried their clients against
dhcpd and told me where it was busted, or, later on, that it wasn't
will print its log messages to standard error. It will also dump the
contents of all packets it receives and sends.
+ SUPPORT
+
+ISC DHCPD is not a commercial product, and is not supported in that sense.
+However, I am continuing to work on this server with the support of the
+Internet Software Consortium, so if you have trouble or want help, please
+free free to contact me, Ted Lemon <mellon@fugue.com>.
+
+In addition, there are two mailing lists for dhcpd - dhcpd-announce and
+dhcpd-users. To subscribe, see http://www.fugue.com/dhcp/lists. If you
+don't have WWW access, you can send mail to dhcpd-request@fugue.com and
+tell me which lists you want to subscribe to, but please use the web interface
+if you can, since I have to handle the -request mailing list manually.
