I want to setup my DHCP server and I'm not sure where to being. I have already ran:

emerge dhcpd

This downloaded and compiled the package, now what do I do?

Code:

emerge -C dhcp
emerge -C bind
emerge dnsmasq


Much easier to configure and integrate with DNS server (It's a caching LAN DNS server also). Edit and uncomment DHCP range command. Read comments for help, very easy and reliable. Post back if having problems.

Enjoy

I did the following:

Code:
emerge dhcdp


That was it. The service isn't running yet or anything.

I think there is a spelling error here. I get this:
Code:

emerge -vp dhcdp

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "dhcdp".


"dhcp" is the server
"dhcpcd" is the client

which is it?
