 The reason that it puts the pidfile in /var/run/dhcpd is that you are  
 running with either paranoia or chmodded as the dhcpd user.  In either  
 case it can't write to /var/run as it starts up as the dhcpd user.
 
 If you look at the ownership of /var/run/dhcpd you'll see it is owned  
 by dhcpd:dhcpd
 
 If you run as root, or without paranoia it will in fact create the  
 pidfile in /var/run/
 
 I suppose we could patch the man pages depending on the compilation  
 options or something.
 
 Thanks,
