Justin,

if you look in the /etc/sysconfig directory there should be a file called
dhcpd and in that you can add the args you need.

Let me know if that works out for you.

Mike

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
