Adding to my own post:
Something that was reported way back in 2012 and has also never been corrected,
is the informational message at the end of the port.
The last line has: WARNING: never edit the chrooted or jailed dhcpd.conf file
but the /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf instead which is always copied where needed
upon starting.
HUH??!!! It's a jail. It lives in there.... this message is just confusing
and wrong. Maybe it's an artifact, maybe is was a mistake. It needs to be
removed/corrected for clarity.
Thank you,
P.

Hi,
At the end of the install, it says that dhcpd will run with it's root at:
/var/db/dhcpd
I'm curious. Is there some security reason that I'm missing? Why wouldn't
this be in: /usr/local/var/db/dhcpd ?
I'm very happy with the ongoing push to keep everything that isn't OS in the
/usr/local hierarchy. Quite frankly, it just makes sense kind of like "It just
works". :D
I'm hoping that, someday, even mail will be there but I understand there's some
history there.
Thank you!
P.
