Ummm...  No.  DHCP server for the linux box.  He'd be smart to look at what
was installed...  There are a ton of holes in the set that comes with
RedHat.

I never post about software, so how do you know?  do a little dns lookup
and you'll find they are the same server.

I don't just set them up, I admin them and program for them.  Would you
like a linux program that will run on your pc and display strings you send
to it?  Or how about a dyndns mockup server?

Gee...
