 When dhcpd is first installed, there is no lease database.   However,
 dhcpd requires that a lease database be present before it will start.

 In order to prevent the lease database from growing without bound, the
 file is rewritten from time to time.   First, a temporary lease
 database is created and all known leases are dumped to it.   Then, the
 old lease database is renamed DBDIR/dhcpd.leases~.   Finally, the
 newly written lease database is moved into place.
