isc-dhcpd - not logging client transactions

Not sure of the exact timing the chroot() call uses, but typically config
files, logging device (/dev/log), etc, are opened before the chroot()
call.

Otherwise check if there is a dev/log socket inside the jail directory
structure. If not you'll need to create it using mknod.
