The executable is dhclient It takes an interface argument (which is good to add), e.g.: dhclient xl0 > 2: How or where do I locate the dhclient.conf default file?

You can just create it in /etc. Just touch dhclient.conf If you want to be specfic about anything (an empty file is usually adequate), man dhclient.conf. If you want to start dhclient on boot, see the syntax for the two lines containing dhcp. The flags for dhcp would be the interface (xl0 in the above example) you want dhclient to use.
