Aug 25 16:36:07 nas systemd[1]: dhcpd4.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

After the boot process has finished, dhcpd4 can be started manually without any problems. Inserting a rule to force dhcpd4 starting after the network is up solves the problem.

Any news on this?
Comment 4 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2020-11-18 16:47:06 UTC
There's really no simple way to know which interfaces must be configured before starting the daemon. I think this would need to be customized for every installation.
