Bug Description

recent security upgrade started dhcp3-server even it was forbidden to start. It caused troubles in local network. As the network-important service it must do status checks if it is allowed to start or not.

more of all - it was a security update so it was installed automatically- at night time, and troubles came in the morning already network-wide
