<p style="margin: 0px;">SLES10 SP3<br />
Kernel 2.6.16.60-0.74.7<br />
NOES 2 SP2<br />
DHCPd v3.0.7<br />
Server paravirtualized with XEN on SLES11<br />
<br />
On the rcnovell-dhcpd start command, the following error is displayed:<br />
<br />
"Socket address family not supported by protocol - make sure CONFIG_PACKET<br />
(Packet Socket) and CONFIG_FILTER (Socket Filtering) are enabled in your kernel configuration."<br />
<br />
I am at a loss on this one. My first attempt with DHCP on SLES10. From what<br />
I have found the above config changes to the kernel require a recompile of<br />
the kernel.<br />
<br />
Did add the CONFIG_PACKET to the kernel config file, and recompiled the<br />
kernel.<br />
However the CONFIG_FILTER kernel config setting is no longer supported in<br />
kernel 2.6.<br />
Did add the IPFILTER to the kernel config. That appears to be the<br />
replacement for the CONFIG_FILTER.<br />
<br />
Assistance and/or advice would be greatly appreciated.<br />
