OK, now I am really confused.

In that way you are not using the srpm you downloaded anymore. You are just unpacking the tarball (with no patched) and are compiling vanilla source by yourself.
Ah... umm... yes... I wondered how those patches got used. <sheepish grin> It just goes to show you - a (very) little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Perhaps what you want to do is $ rpmbuild -bc dhcp.spec after $ rpm -ivh dhcp-XXXXX.src.rpm . Please try $ man rpmbuild
OK, got it now. (and thanks to Bryn M. Reeves for the link)
$ pwd /usr/src/redhat/
$ find . -name "*.spec" ./SOURCES/dhcp-4.0.0/contrib/dhcp.spec ./SPECS/dhcp.spec
$ rpmbuild -bc ./SPECS/dhcp.spec ...lots of stuff... ...couple of warning messages... ...more stuff... success!!
Thanks, Steve
