Mates,

	I'm new to suse and the list and I am having a heck of a time transitioning 
from MDK to suse. My current problem is basic. I need to get dhcpd up and 
running. Bind is running, but dhcpd refuses to start for some silly reason -- 
unexplained. I'm using ddns and I've built the keyfile with dnskeygen.

Here is the OS

	suse 8.2 pro

Here is the config:

dhcpd.conf

	ddns-updates on;
	ddns-update-style interim;
	ignore client-updates;
	include "/etc/named.keys";

subnet 192.168.7.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
	# default gateway
	option routers 192.168.7.13;
	option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
	option domain-name "3111skyline.com";
	option domain-name-servers 192.168.7.14;
        #option domain-name-servers 66.76.2.130, 208.180.118.2;
	option netbios-name-servers 192.168.7.14;

	ddns-domainname "dyn/3111skyline.com";
#	ddns-rev-domainname "7.168.192.in-addr.arpa";

	range dynamic-bootp 192.168.7.100 192.168.7.120;
	default-lease-time 21600;
	max-lease-time 43200;

	# Adding zone information

	zone 3111skyline.com. {primary 127.0.0.1; key DHCP_UPDATER; }
#	zone 7.168.192.in-addr.arpa. { primary 127.0.0.1; key DHCP_UPDATER; }

Here is the error:

skyline:/usr/share/doc/packages/dhcp-server # /etc/init.d/dhcpd start
Starting DHCP server startproc:  exit status of parent of /usr/sbin/dhcpd: 1

Can't open /etc/named.keys: No such file or directory

Here is proof the named.keys is there

skyline:/usr/share/doc/packages/dhcp-server # ls -al /etc/named.keys
-rw-r-----    1 root     named         214 Apr  2 22:22 /etc/named.keys
skyline:/usr/share/doc/packages/dhcp-server # cat /etc/named.keys

# generated by genDDNSKey.sh on Fri Apr  2 22:22:00 CST 2004

key DHCP_UPDATER {
algorithm hmac-md5;
        secret "yada-yada-yada-yada (real key omitted)";
};

So basically, I'm at a complete loss. As always, any help would be appreciated 
and returned.

P.S. If anyone can tell me how to get rid of the "blue" tty1 and just get the 
normal black screen back I would be greatful. I've searched .profile and 
.bashrc and .initrc but I haven't found it yet (no doubt I'm looking in the 
wrong place)
