DHCP problems

Having a strange problem with dhcpd - it won't start under boot.
Starting it manually with "service dhcpd start" works fine.

grep dhcpd /var/log/messages gives me:

Oct 8 19:22:11 server dhcpd: No subnet declaration for eth0 (no IPv4
addresses).
Oct 8 19:22:11 server dhcpd: ** Ignoring requests on eth0. If this is
not what
Oct 8 19:22:11 server dhcpd: you want, please write a subnet declaration
Oct 8 19:22:11 server dhcpd: in your dhcpd.conf file for the network
segment
Oct 8 19:22:11 server dhcpd: to which interface eth0 is attached. **
Oct 8 19:22:11 server dhcpd:
Oct 8 19:22:11 server dhcpd:
Oct 8 19:22:11 server dhcpd: Not configured to listen on any interfaces!

....which doesn't make any sense - dhcpd.conf:

ddns-update-style none;
ignore client-updates;

option domain-name "my.net";
default-lease-time 86400; # 24 hours
max-lease-time 172800; # 48 hours

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option domain-name-servers 4.2.2.6,4.2.2.2;
range 192.168.1.101 192.168.1.200;
}

ifconfig eth0:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1F05:A4:1B
inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

Any ideas?

Could it happen that dhcpd starts before eth0 is configured ?

Oops... Didn't think of that - "chkconfig 99 1" in /etc/init.d/dhcpd did
the trick

Thanks for the tip
