Hello,
I'm reaching out today for some assistance with my current isc-dhcp-server ipv4 and ipv6 environment. Currently i'm running Debian Wheezy 32bit and the issue i have is isc-dhcp-server6 service wont start on boot up (i can manually start the service). I copied the isc-dhcp-server startup config from etc/init.d and made below changes. Unfortunately this didn't work.
#!/bin/sh

I really need this service to start on boot so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
