Ubuntu Configuration of the DHCP Plugin

[smashingchrische]

Hey,
I just found out that on my machine (Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS) the dhcp_isc.yml should use:

:config: /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
:leases: /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases

instead of the documented parameter setting:

:dhcp_config: /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
:dhcp_leases: /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases

Foreman disabled the plugin, as it did not read the leases file properly.
It was due to the dhcp_leases setting.
After changing it to only leases, it works just fine.

I refer to the the documentation available here:
https://theforeman.org/manuals/1.16/index.html#4.3.4DHCP

I have installed foreman directly from the packages without the foreman-installer.
Has someone experienced the same issue as me?

AFAIK we do configure this in the installer but you're right that the current manual instructions look outdated. A PR would be highly appreciated.
