I'm having an odd problem, it keeps telling me semicolon expected when I start the
dhcpd service, but I'm sitting here looking at the semicolon in the config file. I've
re-created a few times and the same thing happens, won't allow me to start the service.

+1 for selinux troubleshooting comment

Jose luis

este error
setgroups: Operation not permitted

krizna

Hi luis,
It just because of selinux . please disable selinux and reboot your machine and
try again.
#vim /etc/selinux/config

find this line

SELINUX=enforcing

and replace with

SELINUX=disabled

and reboot your machine .
