having trouble getting dhcpd started

Hi there,

I just installed FC4 and I'm trying to get DHCP started, so I pulled  
my dhcpd.conf from the machine we're moving it from, and checked to  
see if any of the syntax had changed.  All looks good, but when I try  
to start dhcpd I get the following.

Is SELinux preventing dhcp from binding to the port?  I don't see any  
audit messages in /var/log/messages.

There are no other dhcp servers running on this machine or the rest  
of the network for that matter.

Thanks,
      -Jon
