I am using the server that came with Red Hat 6.1.   I will investigate
later which version that is, I have a feeling it is 3.3.4, in fact I
know it's 3.3.4 since I remember downloading it specially.

As a side note, "upgrading" from Red Hat 6.0 to 6.1 managed to
successfully trash most of the services running on my server.  Hmmm,
where to look when DHCP fails, SMB dies and NFS has gone completely mad.
I've sorted all but the last one, NFS is being daft.  It's showmounting
that /usr and /opt are shared *(ro) and that's what exports says but
gives permission denied when I try to mount them (ooer) and refuses also
to share /home/tombird with the entry:
/home/tombird   teamserver(rw,no_root_squash)
in /etc/exports.  This WORKED before I upgraded, yet another example of
"if it ain't broke, don't bloody go near it".

So it managed to quite successfully bring down a network of about 9
machines (at last count) congratulations Red Hat, even unpatched NT4 has
a hard time topping that one (although it made a valiant effort last
time managing to destroy network neighbourhood on all the machines).
