Hi

I have a system running 5.3 which became problematic overnight (ran out of paging space, wouldn't allow new connections as a result) and had to be rebooted from the operator panel.

The server is back up and running, dhcpsd won't start but all other functions (LDAP server etc) are running okay.

When I start dhcpsd it says it's starting and displays the PID, but then if I do a ps -ef and grep for the process, it's not there and I have the following errpt entry:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the last few entries from the dhcp log:

Any help would be much appreciated thanks!
