I have installed dhcpd on my linux box which is also acting as a router for another segment. Now I want to cofigure the linux box to act as relay agent so that it can relay the ip address to the segment where dhcp server is not there.
Please let meknow how to configure linux box as DHCP relay.

you will need to install a dhcp relay agent on a seperate machine than your dhcp server. Then place the relay agent on every subnet that is without a dhcp server. The dhcp server would relay the address to the relay agent, which would pass it on to the client.
