Now I got a clue. I've copied the file dhcpd.conf, but forgot to 
configure /etc/init.d/dhcp to make dhcpd actually start at boottime.

As detailed therein, I've set run_dhcpd = 1 and executed:

root:>/etc/init.d/dhcp start

But it fails complaining that I must describe _all_ subnets in 
/etc/dhcpd.conf. But, hey, I don't want dhcpd to serve request coming 
from eth1 !!

Reading again /etc/init.d/dhcp I see the following:

# Add all interfaces you want dhcpd to handle here

My best guess is: since I haven't added interfaces there, the 
script/daemon assumes 'all', and since the subnet correspoding to eth1 
is not described in /etc/dhcpd.conf, it complains it should be.

Am I right ?? I haven't tried adding what interfaces I want dhcpd to 
handle since I don't know what is the proper syntax (there is no 
example in /etc/init.d/dhcp).

Thanks again !!
