    Make sure /etc/services contains:

      bootps          67/udp                          # BOOTP/DHCP server
 
    add the following at /etc/inetd.d:
 
        bootps dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/sbin/bootpd_nis bootpd_nis -x -i <interface name> <other flags>
        
  restart inetd:
    
       kill -HUP <pid_of_inetd>
     

3.  as a xinetd service:


        create the file /etc/xinetd.d/bootpd :
    
    service bootps
        {
        id              = bootps
        socket_type     = dgram
        protocol        = udp
        user            = root
        wait            = yes
        disable         = no
        port            = 67
        server          = /usr/sbin/bootpd_nis
        server_args     =  -i eth0 -x <other_flags>
        }

    restart xinetd server. (kill -HUP)
