Hmm, this is a strange one. I have a Backup DNS Server which had problems starting Sendmail on startup. I could only fix it by issuing the start command in the rc.local script. Now I have a similar situation with DHCPD. The Daemon refuses to read the configuration file on System startup, but appears to read it fine when started by root after the server is restarted.
Here's the info from the logfiles: Dec 5 17:24:27 access2 network: Bringing up interface eth1: succeeded Dec 5 17:24:27 access2 ifup: Delaying eth2 initialization. Dec 5 17:24:27 access2 network: Bringing up interface eth2: failed Dec 5 17:24:27 access2 portmap: portmap startup succeeded Dec 5 17:24:29 access2 crond: crond startup succeeded Dec 5 17:24:29 access2 rc: Starting firewall: succeeded Dec 5 17:24:29 access2 inet: inetd startup succeeded Dec 5 17:24:29 access2 snmpd: snmpd startup succeeded Dec 5 17:24:30 access2 cfd: cfd startup succeeded Dec 5 17:24:31 access2 named: named startup succeeded Dec 5 17:24:34 access2 xinetd: xinetd startup succeeded Dec 5 17:24:36 access2 rc: Starting arkeia: succeeded Dec 5 17:24:36 access2 dhcpd: Internet Software Consortium DHCP Server V3.0b2pl9 Dec 5 17:24:36 access2 dhcpd: Copyright 1995-2000 Internet Software Consortium.
