DHCPd setup trouble

Hi all,

   I'm trying to do something that should be dead simple, and am 
managing to fail miserably.

   I've got a CentOS 5.3 machine and I want to set up a dhcpd daemon. 
However, it fails to start and I can't seem to find where or if it is 
logging. I've added to the following to '/etc/syslog.conf' and reloaded 
the syslog daemon as the dhcpd.conf man page suggests:

local7.debug				/var/log/dhcpd.log

   Nothing works though. When I try to start the dhcpd daemon it simply 
prints "failed". I've currently stripped my config down to the bare bones:

subnet 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
         option routers                  192.168.1.1;
         option subnet-mask              255.255.255.0;
         range 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.110;
}

   I don't know how to make it any simpler than that and it still won't 
start... Am I missing something simple?

Thanks!

Madi
