Summary0003961: dhcpd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'
Descriptionhi, mates! I tried to setting up dhcp server on my rpi4b for local network.
I did according this https://www.linuxtechi.com/configure-dhcp-server-on-rhel-rockylinux/?utm_content=cmp-true
after 'sudo systemctl enable --now dhcpd' or 'systemctl status dhcpd.service'
I received an error:

Glad you figured it out! The `systemctl status` command truncates the output, so it is confusing.

Good luck with your DHCP server :)
