dhcpcd is not running

I am tinkering with a test 15.0 64-bit system. When I run the dhcpcd --dumplease command I receive a "dhcpcd is not running" result.

Running the command with strace seems to indicate dhcpcd is looking for two socket files:

/run/eth1.unpriv.sock
/run/unpriv.sock

Those files do not exist. The following files do exist:

/run/eth1-4.sock
/run/eth1-4.unpriv.sock

The system receives an IP address. A lease file exists in /var/lib/dhcpcd. No errors in /var/log/messages or the rc.inet1 debug stdout. There are four dhcpcd processes.

The dhcpcd does seem slow, often needing 10 seconds or more to obtain a lease but that does not seem related to the differently named socket files that cause the dumplease failure.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
