From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: When i start the DHCPD the following erroe message occurs on the screen: no subnet declaration for start (0.0.0.0) not configured to listen to any interface. in mine hdchd.conf there is a subnet declarition Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fc4 core How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. dhcpd start 2. 3. Actual Results: above msg Expected Results: dhcpd should start Additional info:
part of my dhcpd.conf subnet 193.100.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option domain-name-servers 193.100.10.1; option routers 193.100.10.1; }
The problem is the command you used to start dhcpd : # dhcpd start would make dhcpd look for an interface named "start", which would be the only interface it would be configured to serve, and which probably does not exist on your system. You probably meant to do: # service dhcpd start or # /etc/init.d/dhcpd start Which would use the dhcpd initscript to start dhcpd to serve any interface on subnet 193.100.10.0/24 . If multiple interfaces are on this subnet, you could put the interface name you want dhcpd to serve in /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd - ie. if the only interface you want dhcpd to serve is named "eth0", putting this line in /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd will make dhcpd only serve eth0: " DHCPDARGS=eth0 ".
