dhcp service problem on stretch
Hi,
Just installed my first stretch server using the 9.5 DVD1, installed the normal system environment, no desktop just a ssh server, and added the isc dhcp server.
I transferred my original dhcpf.conf file, stripped what I did not need in the new environment and expected no problems. However...
It seems the dhcp service does not want to start but I have no idea why.
I have stripped my dhcpd.conf down to barely nothing and a regular test gives no errors but the service refuses to start, why?
Testing the config, no error
=====================
linom1:~# /usr/sbin/dhcpd -t -cf /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

Starting the service, error
=====================
linom1:~# service isc-dhcp-server start
Job for isc-dhcp-server.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status isc-dhcp-server.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
And just for the fun of it, the /etc/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf file
-----<quote>---------------
linom1:~# cat /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
shared-network om1-lan.tio.nl {
subnet 172.16.72.0 netmask 255.255.254.0 {
option routers 172.16.72.1;
option domain-name "tio.nl";
# Dyanamic range
range 172.16.73.200 172.16.73.240;
}
}

And the 172.16.72.0/23 network is definitely in range for this dhcp server
================
linom1:~# ip addr

Also the logging is not very helpful
