Hi,

I have several boxes I wish to use as a renderfarm for Lightwave 3D work.
They are a little too long in the tooth for WXP's liking, but play nicely
with Linux (in yer face Gates!).

I wish to use one of the boxes as a DHCP server for the others. This RH9 box
has one NIC configured as IP address 192.168.3.20.
ifconfig reports MULTICAST ok and my dhcpd.conf reads as:

default lease-time 720;
max lease-time 86400;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.3.255;
option routers 192.168.3.50;
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
subnet 192.168.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range 192.168.3.30 192.168.3.40;
}

However, when I start the dhcp daemon it reports:

"Ignoring requests at start
Not configured to listen to any interfaces!"

what am I doing wrong please?
