Perhaps the error reporting is wrong.

But as I add dhcp clients, I fully expect to add more functionality into the dhcpd.conf, so I'll try inducing errors when I next need to make changes (if my modifications don't cause errors anyway). It is curious though because those 2 lines came from the dhcpd.conf.sample file. I copied the file across to /etc and deleted what I didn't need to start with. Something changed along the way and I didn't notice. Thanks again everyone. -- Hooroo, Simon Registered Linux User #463789.
