Two questions.  First, does the new file still work?

Second, what is the output of "file /usr/sbin/dhcpd"  on the two =
versions=20
of the file?

I think that rpm (or rust, I'm not sure) may be stripping the file to =
make=20
it smaller.  There is probably an option in rpm to turn off that =
behavior.

1. The new file does not work.
2. Original - file dhcpd
dhcpd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, dynamically =
linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

# ls -l dhcpd
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root      1450408 Apr 14 20:25 dhcpd

From rpm -
$ file dhcpd
dhcpd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, dynamically =
linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
$ ls -l dhcpd
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       623186 Apr 23 07:39 dhcpd
