Also,

	for some strange reason, I have had to remove DHCP_ARGS from /etc/conf.d/dhcp
to get dhcp to start:

# DHCP_ARGS="-q"
DHCP_ARGS=

	After removing "-q", dhcpd starts fine. Anybody else see this behavior? This is
on a brand new install. I have another server running dhcpd and "-q" causes no
problems there. Any ideas on what could make the difference?
