It looks like the config file is broken

Try the following and see if this fixs it.

run this as root:
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/dhcpd.conf

then try and restart the DHCP server
(/etc/init.d/dhcpd start)

If you still get errors then you need to look in /etc/dhcpd.conf and work out what is wrong with the file, it looks like there is an error on line 13.

Thanks
