Users of DHCP should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct these issues. After installing this update, all DHCP servers will be restarted automatically.
Updated dhcp packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that allows individual devices on an Internet Protocol (IP) network to get their own network configuration information, including an IP address, a subnet mask, and a broadcast address.

Bug Fix

BZ#736515
Previously, the anaconda dhcptimeout value was not fully propagated to libdhcp4client's internal timeout_arg. As a result, it used the insufficient default timeout of 60 seconds. With this update, anaconda dhcptimeout value is correctly propagated and the problem no longer occurs with this update. This update is a dependency of BZ#737155 and BZ#737161.
All DHCP Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
