[SOLVED] dhcpd4 fails

When I start the service it fails.
dhcpd-pre is fine.

I added a log and it's empty.
If I run the command from the command line no output.

I see that usb tethering uses that service.
The machine that gives internet.

Do you need to change the config?
Dinit log is empty but /var/log/everything.log (from syslog-ng):

I added to /etc/dhcpd.conf:

Code: [Select]
subnet 10.42.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range 10.42.0.50 10.42.0.100;
  option routers 10.42.0.1;
  option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8;
}

And it starts fine.
In everything.log there was some new error about 10.42.X.X address and wlan0.
