+      dhcping sends either a DHCPREQUEST or DHCPINFORM packet to the server
+      and waits for an answer. Then, if a DHCPREQUEST was send, it will send
+      a DHCPRELEASE back to the server.

+      This program should be installed setuid root or ran by root only, as it
+      requires the privileges to bind itself to port 68 (bootpc). Root
+      privileges are dropped as soon as the program has bound itself to that
+      port.
