DHCP Server Configuration Problem

[DÔ Phan-Cam-Thach]

The problem is that when i do like that, the system read the file /etc/dhcpd.conf. And now, i can not modify the content of this file (as i have just written in the last email)

You need to be root to start dhcpd, so two ways to do this on most
versions of Linux:

sudo service dhcpd start

su -
service dhcpd start
