Okay, here's whatI had to do (this is RedHat 7.3). Tracking down the=20
/etc/init.d/network script, it brings the net card up with 'ifup', so I=20
went into that script and found DHCPCDARGS (RedHat uses dhcpcd) but for=20
the life of me I can't find where DHCPCDARGS is originally defined =3D=20
must be some other script(?) Anyway, I just took the easy route and=20
hardcoded in "-t 10" inbetween ${DHCPCDARGS} and ${DEVICE} when the ifup =

script calls the dhcpcd program. Works now. I couldn't find a graphical=20
tool to set this, but as long as this works, I'm happy :)

Thanks everyone for your help

Justin
