Sun's DHCP Server under Solaris 2.6
we are using our Sun system 450 as a DHCP server where the SUNWdhcsr,
SUNWdhcsu packages plus Patch 106150 under Solaris 2.6 are installed.
NIS+ is not running, only NIS and the system has also Sun's QuadEthernet
card installed:

Our system is called "tr-s" with IP=192.52.214.1 and after running the
dhcpconfig utility for 10 clients there are these two files under
/var/dhcp:

Trying to start the DHCP server daemon with
#/usr/lib/inet/in.dhcpd -d -v
is producing this output:
Daemon version: 3.1
Maximum relay hops: 4
Datastore: files
Path: /var/dhcp
DHCP: offer TTL:10
ICMP validation timeout: 1000ms, Attempts:2
(errno:125) Bind: Address already in use
(errno:125) Cannot configure any interface
Daemon terminated.
Of course there is no in.dhcpd entry in the process table and therefore
no client's hme0 controller will be configured.
What's wrong here in our DHCP setup?
