Snow Leopard Server DHCP Not Working

Brand new server and all other services are working properly but DHCP continually crashes:

Jan 5 21:08:51 qiserver com.apple.ReportCrash.Root[54741]: 2010-01-05 21:08:51.648 ReportCrash[54741:7e2f] Saved crash report for bootpd[54810] version ??? (???) to /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/bootpd_2010-01-05-210851-3_localhost.crash

Jan 5 21:08:51 qiserver com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.bootpd[54811]): Job appears to have crashed: Abort trap

I've completely deleted and re-created the subnet, restarted the server several times, deleted the bootpd.plist... crash report is attached. I know I've deleted the configuration files used by the server manager before but I'll be damned if I can find them now. I'm stumped for the moment.

Also, it continually crashes without a subnet enabled or even in the list.

Good call on the server update. I completely doped out on that one but that didn't fix it. What did fix it was deleting the dhcpd_leases file within that same directory.

Thanks for you help...sometimes you just need a little kick to point you in the right direction.
