Greetings,

I've noticed inside /var/log/messages

Jan  9 13:33:11 island dhcpd: Can't create new lease file: Permission denied

which leads to uncontrolled grow of lease db, here the DB for ~2 days:

-rw-r--r--   1 _isc-dhcp  _isc-dhcp  155500 Jan 10 02:02 dhcpd.leases
-rw-r--r--   1 _isc-dhcp  _isc-dhcp    5969 Jan  8 00:26 dhcpd.leases~

as the way to fix that I've moved dhcpd.leases to /var/db/dhcpd

and as bonus I've added dhcp-lease-list to the port
