57 +When starting the dhcp init.d script for the first time, it may fail to load
58 +but neglect to give you any useful info.

68 +The trick is to know where dhcpd is sending its output. Simply browse to
69 +/var/log and read the log files. Since the exact log file depends on the
70 +package you are using as a syslog, try running <c>grep -Rl dhcpd /var/log</c>
71 +to narrow down the possibilities. Chances are you made a typo in your config
72 +file. You could also try running <c>dhcpd -d -f</c> (short for debug /
73 +foreground) and debug the error based upon the output.
