Thanks Mike. I think we may have found the problem. Stoping of the service
using /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd stop and running the above netstat command
resulted in:

	udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:67              0.0.0.0:*

still showing up, According to the /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd script dhcp is
supposed to stop in the following manner:

 	# Stop daemons.
      echo -n "Shutting down dhcpd: "
      killproc dhcpd
      echo
      rm -f /var/lock/subsys/dhcpd
      ;;

Nothing wrong looking there. So what is causing dhcpd not to be shutdown
properly ??? Think I might take a wander around RedHats knowledge base.
