	Okay. This is all that is output to stderr:


No subnet declaration for dc0 (216.231.43.140).
** Ignoring requests on dc0.  If this is not what
   you want, please write a subnet declaration
   in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment
   to which interface dc0 is attached. **

	Or, how do I test this?  I've just tried ssh'ing
