#4008 DHCP server will does not start

[Anonymous]

I just installed webmin 1.570 on an OpenBSD 4.9/i386 system. After editing/adding some hosts to the DHCP server module, the daemon stops but fails to restart after pressing the Apply Changes button. Here is the error messages in: /var/log/messages

Oct 17 09:43:24 fs dhcpd[10383]: Can't open f: No such file or directory
Oct 17 09:43:24 fs dhcpd[10383]: exiting.

Could you attach your /etc/dhcpd.conf and /etc/webmin/dhcpd/config files to this bug report?

Here are the two files as per your request:

Actually, it looks like Webmin may be starting dhcpd with the wrong flags.

Which dhcpd version are you running there? Or which Linux distribution or operating system and version?

[Anonymous]

My first comment indicates that I am using OpenBSD 4.9. They use code based on ISC dhcpd.

[Anonymous]

The only argument I use is the name of the BSD interface. In my case: bnx0. E.g.

/usr/sbin/dhcpd bnx0

[Jamie Cameron]

If you run "dhcpd -v" , what version number does it show?

[Anonymous]

I do not think you have responded to my comment which I gave after yours: 2011-11-01 07:22:28 PDT.

Do you need more information on my configuration?

Did you see my comment : If you run "dhcpd -v" , what version number does it show?
