RE: [MLUG] dhcpd.conf question

[Rick Buford <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

kind of expanding on what Ryan replied with, but dhcpd actually wants a
subnet declaration only for those interfaces that your listening for
requests on. Makes sense when you think about it. If you're running RH-style
init scripts, just add the interface to the "start()" section in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd:
        daemon /usr/sbin/dhcpd eth0
