Thanks Alexander. I came across that same post just before reading Paul's 
response. The proposed solution is way over my head. It seems to be 
discussing Samba as opposed to what the subject line says, also. For now, 
I've turned off the restrictive policy on dhcpd in Selinux till I can figure 
this out. The Selinux man page tells you next to nothing, so I shall go look 
at the Selinux website today and see what I can find.
