Problem starting DHCP on V4R4M0

["Roger Vicker, CCP" <rvicker@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Has anyone had a problem (and hopefully a solution) with DHCP not
starting automatically (CHGDHCPA AUTOSTART(*YES)) and not being able
to start it manually/explicitly  with adopted authority? I have a
customer that wants to use DHCP but can only get it to start by being
a member of QSECOFR. We have tried a program that adopts QSECOFR
without any success.

The job log shows:
 From module . . . . . . . . :   QTODDCNV
 From procedure  . . . . . . :   qtod_IssueMessage__FPcT1ie
 Statement . . . . . . . . . :   852
 Message . . . . :   DHCP attributes file missing or not valid.
 Cause . . . . . :   DHCP requires an attributes file.  The file that
it tried
   to open was /QIBM/USERDATA/OS400/DHCP/DHCP.ATTRIB, and it
encountered an
   error.  The error code was 3401.  An error code of 0 indicates that
the DHCP
   attributes file exists but that the data was not valid. Any other
error code
   indicates a file I/O error occurred. Because of this error, an
attempt was
   made to restore the attributes file from default values but that
was
   unsuccessful also. Without the attribute information, processing
was unable
   to continue. Recovery  . . . :   Use the command "WRKLNK
   '/QIBM/USERDATA/OS400/DHCP/DHCP.ATTRIB'" and if the DHCP attributes
file

Authority is:
                   Data
Opt  User        Authority

     *PUBLIC     *RX

However I did check the full path and found:

                   Data
Opt  User        Authority

     *PUBLIC     *EXCLUDE
     QSECOFR     *RWX
     QTCP        *RX

Thanks,

Roger Vicker, CCP
