            Bug ID: 222151
           Summary: net/dhcpd doesn't start without discouraged -c flag

Running the latest dhcpd package, dhcpd-6.0.20170207, on -current

Configured /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf. Enabled in rc.conf. Ran service dhcpd
start. It did not start. /var/log/messages shows

Sep  8 12:28:27 zfs3 dhcpd: Can't open /etc/dhcpd.conf: No such file or
directory
Sep  8 12:28:27 zfs3 dhcpd: exiting.

Easy enough, right? Change the config file location on the command line. But -c
includes the text: "this option should be used only for testing database files
in a non-production environment."

So copy the config to /etc? No, violates pkg config rules

I don't know the correct answer, but I have a couple suggestions:

- make -c /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf the default
- add a patch to change the default config file location

Thanks!
