Thedatabase is a free-form ASCII file containing one valid declarationper lease.   If more than one declaration appears for a given lease,the last one in the file is used.   The file is written as a log, sothis is not an unusual occurrance..PPThe format of the lease declarations is described in.B dhclient.conf(5)..SH FILES.B DBDIR/dhclient.leases.SH SEE ALSOdhclient(8), dhcp-options(5), dhclient.conf(5), dhcpd(8),dhcpd.conf(5), RFC2132, RFC2131..SH AUTHOR.B dhclient(8)was written by Ted Lemonunder a contract with Vixie Labs.
