The dumpleases utility would be made more useful on a system with an SSD if FEATURE_UDHCPD_WRITE_LEASES_EARLY were set at build time, because then you wouldn't need to set a low auto_time (udhcpd.conf option) to get up-to-date lease information from an unprivileged account, without having to first send a signal to udhcpd from root. Please set this build option.
I guess it's still too much to write leases file on every DHCP ACK, even 6 years after this bug report has been submitted. What would be useful though, is for dumpleases to send SIGUSR1 to dhcpd before reading the leases file. I guess. Dunno how it would syncronize though. /mjt
