dhcpd-4.3.6 works only when launched with -f or -d flag

[glenn.satchell at uniq.com.au]

If you try running form the command line with --user and --group options 
does it work? eg

/usr/sbin/dhcpd -f -cf /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf -user dhcpd -group dhcpd

See when it runs as a daemon it includes the --user and --group files? 
Check that user dhcpd can write to the leases file, the directory where 
the leases file is and the appropriate log file.
