[luau] dhcpd.conf setup

[Charles Lockhart]

Yeah, I think that's what happened.  I ended up searching dejanews and 
stumbled across a reference to a mini-HOWTO on dhcp which I managed to 
track down, and got it to work, or at least start without errors, and it 
looks like it's working for what I'm trying to do.

Thanks,
