dhcdbd − program to return dhcp configuration
| 
 dhcdbd [−−system] [−−session] [−−no−daemon] [−−destVAR] [−−pathVAR] [−−prefix=VAR]  | 
dhcdbd is designed to be started as a D−Bus service from a service description file, by default /usr/share/dbus−1/services/dhcdbd.service;
hence the default bus it will connect to is the "STARTER" bus, and it must be installed setuid to root.
−−system
use system bus
−−session
use session bus
−−no−daemon
do not fork / daemonize: stay in foreground
| 
 −−dest  | 
 set connection destination − default: ’com.redhat.dhcp’  | ||
| 
 −−path  | 
 set object path prefix − default: ’/com/redhat/dhcp’  | 
−−prefix
set interface prefix − default: ’com.redhat.dhcp’
Here are some examples using dbus−send to contact dhcdbd:
/usr/bin/dbus−send
−−dest=com.redhat.dhcp
−−type=method_call \ 
−−print−reply
−−reply−timeout=20000 \ 
/com/redhat/dhcp/eth0 \
| 
 com.redhat.dhcp.up uint32:7 uint32:2  | 
Brings up
interface eth0, telling dhclient-script not to modify
resolv.conf, 
perform ifconfigs, or modify routes, but TO configure
ntp.conf, ntp/step-tickers 
and yp.conf.
| 
 When this interface is brought down, the lease is to be released.  |
