DHCP issues 2

[Leslie Rhorer]

     OK, this seems a little odd, but maybe it is normal operation.  
Shouldn't the daemon be writing to the leases file? It doesn't seem to 
be.  It creates two files per server, one named xxx.leases and one named 
xxx.leases~.  The "~" usuallty means a temporary file, doesn't it?  
Neither is written to after the daemon is stable.
