You may be mixing up the two daemons. dhcpd [DHCP Daemon] offers leases to
other systems; dhcpcd [DHCP Client Daemon] requests a lease for the system
it runs on. They have separate man pages, at least on Debian. They are
separate .deb packages, and I think separate .rpm packages as well. I don't
know what man pages are on RH or Slackware.

Yes. I don't still have Dan's original message on this thread, and I don't
recall if he asked about a specific Linux distribution or not.
