To be precise, the dhcpd(8) manual is going to have information 
useful for the distribution's packager, who needs to know about 
options which can (or should) be set on the command line.

One might just as well say a "standard" Linux system would use 
"service dhcpd start", if in fact there really is a standard. Yes, 
LSB exists, but startup scripts and procedures do vary.

Good point.

Maybe. There's also a ton of misinformation. :) Usually one might 
prefer starting with the documentation. Note that dhcpd refers to 
other manuals, such as dhcp-eval and dhcp-options.

Also check out the ISC KB:

http://kb.isc.org/article/AA-00333/

And perhaps browse around the KB when a specific question comes up, 
to see if it has been answered there.
