I can't find a dhcp executable anywhere.
There are dhclient, dhcp6c, and dhclient-script.
dhclient is the only one running.
According to ps its WCHAN is -.
Is that the way it is supposed to be?

I finally found another reference to stmike.
It's listed in dhclient-eth0.leases.
There are two leases.
Each has the line
option host-name "stmike";
