My fix for dhcp3 starting on power-up is to chgrp the /etc/dhcp3
directory to dhcpd, then it works.  Won't work for everyone, but for me,
since the box is only a DHCP server, it's fine.

The error that flies by but it says that it can't read the config file.
That's because the directory is owned by root:root and is set to 750, so
you gotta be root or in group root to see what's in that directory.

A possible solution in case both client and server need access is to put
the "dhcp" and "dhcpd" users into the root group.  The idea is to make
sure that both users SOMEhow have access to that directory.
