Would you please settle on a set of misinformation and stick with it?

isc-dhcp's client *does* have a very extensive configuration file.  Same
parser as the server.

In 99.9% of cases, it needs to be a 0-length file.

In some other cases, it needs to be configured.  Due to a bug in the version
of isc-dhcpd at work, for example, I needed to have a /etc/dhclient.conf file
that looked like:

        send dhcp-client-identifier "sef-laptop";

There are a bunch of things I could specify.  Interestingly enough, they're
documented in dhclient.conf(5), which comes with the isc-dhcp package.

So:  not only does isc-dhcp have extensive configuration options, but, in the
common case, it's not needed at all.
