Jabberwocky to me:

[tigerflag at localhost ~]$ ps aux | grep dhc
root      2423  0.0  0.1  2208  976 ?        S    Jan16   0:00 /sbin/dhclient 
-1 -q -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.leases -pf /var/run/dhclient-eth0.pid 
-cf /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf eth0
tigerfl   6854  0.0  0.1  2032  632 pts/1    S    13:27   0:00 grep dhc
