dhcpd,conf error - dhpcd won't start
My /etc/dhcpd.conf is as follows:
--------------------------------
# dhcpd.conf
#
subnet 192.168.0.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 {}
-------------------------------------
This produces the following error in syslog:
------------------------------------------------------
No subnet declaration for eth0 (192.168.0.20).
Jan 14 19:43:42 localhost dhcpd: Please write a subnet declaration in your dhcpd.conf file for the
Jan 14 19:43:42 localhost dhcpd: network segment to which interface eth0 is attached.
Jan 14 19:43:42 localhost dhcpd: exiting.

ifconfig -a shows the following:
