you shouldnt edit this file since it will disable the selftest of
dhcpd ... by default the INTERFACES variable shuld be empty, with this
set dhcpd will perform a check on the config and attache to the devices
for which IP adresses it finds a matching configuration and complain in
the logfile if it doesnt find one ... disabling that functionallity is
not a good idea,

tftp is by default started from inetd, did you change the defaults for
tftpd as well as you did with dhcpd above ? if tftpd isnt started from
inetd it will attach to the first device it finds (which is why we dont
start it standalone).
