Startup sequence

Hi Folks,

I'm afraid something is out of whack here.

On my RedHat Fedora Core 6 server, dhcpd (version:isc-dhcpd-V3.0.4-RedHat)
starts before "ifup eth0" happens.  I didn't create this sequence, so I have
reason to believe it is correct.  But it is mysterious, nonetheless, because
dhcpd fails immediately with the message: "Not configured to listen on any
interfaces!".

If I try to circumvent this with "dhcpd eth0" I get "No subnet declaration
for eth0 (0.0.0.0)." and again I am told: "Not configured to listen on any
interfaces!".

In spite of the instructions, there doesn't seem to be an acceptable way to
add a subnet for 0.0.0.0

It is not clear to me how I tell dhcpd to start up, be patient and wait for
a broadcast interface to appear.

Does anybody have any advice?
