Now I got a clue. I've copied the file dhcpd.conf, but forgot to configure /etc/init.d/dhcp to make dhcpd actually start at boottime. As detailed therein, I've set run_dhcpd = 1 and executed: root:>/etc/init.d/dhcp start But it fails complaining that I must describe _all_ subnets in /etc/dhcpd.conf. But, hey, I don't want dhcpd to serve request coming from eth1 !! Reading again /etc/init.d/dhcp I see the following: # Add all interfaces you want dhcpd to handle here My best guess is: since I haven't added interfaces there, the script/daemon assumes 'all', and since the subnet correspoding to eth1 is not described in /etc/dhcpd.conf, it complains it should be. Am I right ?? I haven't tried adding what interfaces I want dhcpd to handle since I don't know what is the proper syntax (there is no example in /etc/init.d/dhcp). Thanks again !!
