For testing, just remove the 'group {' and matching '}'.
I just have the next-server and filename lines as the first two in de
dhcp conf file.
-- Marcel - Excellent suggestion, thank you, that worked WELL. Strange though the group defs would stop if from working correctly, but in my case I can do without those definitions as any and all pxeboot clients WILL need to go through the same process. OK, thanks to Marcel, I have it successfully pulling the pxelinux.0 where its failing now, is at the following: Jun 16 13:54:40 yum1 dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:03:47:11:3c:6b via eth0 Jun 16 13:54:41 yum1 dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.10.232.80 to 00:03:47:11:3c:6b via eth0 Jun 16 13:54:41 yum1 dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 10.10.232.80 (10.10.232.54) from 00:03:47:11:3c:6b via eth0 Jun 16 13:54:41 yum1 dhcpd: DHCPACK on 10.10.232.80 to 00:03:47:11:3c:6b via eth0 Jun 16 17:54:41 yum1 in.tftpd[9505]: tftp: client does not accept options Jun 16 13:54:41 yum1 dhcpd: DHCPINFORM from 10.10.232.231 via eth0: not authoritative for subnet 10.10.232.0 Jun 16 13:54:41 yum1 dhcpd: If this DHCP server is authoritative for that subnet, Jun 16 13:54:41 yum1 dhcpd: please write an `authoritative;' directive either in the Jun 16 13:54:41 yum1 dhcpd: subnet declaration or in some scope that encloses the Jun 16 13:54:41 yum1 dhcpd: subnet declaration - for example, write it at the top Jun 16 13:54:41 yum1 dhcpd: of the dhcpd.conf file.
