[cobalt-users] DHCP goes belly up?

["Rob Rosenberger" <rob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I went on vacation for a few days with my network running smoothly.  When I
returned, I discovered my PCs no longer saw the Internet.  Each PC came back
up after a reboot with self-assigned IPs.  I cannot get them to use DHCP
services.  The Qube says everything looks hunky-dorey -- yet I suspect it
just doesn't know it stopped providing DHCP services.  I invoked a
workaround by assigning each PC an IP, and of course *now* I can see the
Qube and the network.

This leads me to ask a simple question.  How did I screw up my network while
away on vacation?  Did I leave the network untouched for longer than 86,400
seconds, perhaps?  (I'm grasping at straws here.)

On a (possibly related?) note, "run-parts /etc/cron.daily" generates
multiple "unexpected EOF" and "syntax error" messages.  How can I repair
these errors?
