That's not a problem.  It just shows that you are editing the dhcpd.conf
file.  Which is Ok.  What other lines did you see in the output of
the ps command?

Does dhcpd really start at boot?  Try this to be sure:

    netstat -anp | grep ":67 "


How many nics do you have in your server?

Do you really own the 203.79.110.0 class-c ?  or just some portion of
it?

If that 203.79.110.0 network is exposed to the internet, you REALLY
don't want to be serving up NFS, DHCP, TFTP and XDMCP on that net.
That's a huge security problem.

Also, you might try popping into the #ltsp IRC channel on
irc.freenode.net, where we can help you interactively.
