I have this one running on 2.1.7 and it seems to work just fine.

You have to edit the configuration file /etc/dhcpd.conf. It is fairly
self-explanatory. If you would like to see mine, e-mail me and I'll
send it to you. It is significantly smaller that the default one.

Mine is working fine with Win95 clients. I haven't tried it with Mac
clients yet, but I've ported ISC-dhcpd to an embedded system for an
internet router* at work and *that* works fine with Mac OT clients.

* The Internet Station from Dayna Communications. It features the first
fully integrated DHCP and DNS system - my idea (and my code). I'm very
proud of it!
