DHCP server scopes?

I was reading a book to learn MCSE Win2k server (for the take-down
possiblities), and saw stuff about DHCP server scopes in windows. I've
been trying to get DHCP working there forever. I started the DHCP
service, but it didn't do much from there. How am I supposed to assign
scopes to clients if there is no "system-config-dhcp"? There is almost
no info on the web. I'm on an FC4T2 box, in case you want to know.

Poly-p man

P.S.
I think "scopes" is the right word, it means serieses of IP's

In comp.os.linux.networking Poly-poly man <(E-Mail Removed)>:

Did you check the docs on your box?

man -k dhcpd
dhcpd (8) - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Server
dhcpd.conf [dhcpd] (5) - dhcpd configuration file
dhcpd.leases [dhcpd] (5) - DHCP client lease database

After reading the docs, it's usually not more then editing:

/etc/sysconfig/dhcpd
/etc/dhcpd.conf

And restarting dhcpd, no rocket science involved. Many common
tasks can be resolved by just reading the docs that come with the
package and perhaps the distro provided docu. With FC you want to
read redhat provided docs, supplied FC documentation is almost
non existing from what I saw. Sure you can search the web for
hours, but it's often just a waste of time, if the answers are
already on your box.

Good luck
