Actually, it looks like dhcpd is already running, and you are trying to start two copies of it. do a "ps ax | grep dhcpd" and see if it's already going. It's probably being started on boot.

What I found out is if I down the interface, bring up dhcpd, then bring the interface back up everything works. This sounds like a lot of trouble just to make changes to the dhcp config. Any ideas??
