ok, I didnt notice the there was a dhcpcd.conf man. now I am trying to
assemble it:
I want it to discover eth0 and ppp0 which are connected to the WAN , so
I banish the others:

denyinterfaces eth1 wlan2 tap0 br0

but when I try to run this from the command line, I get:
# pkill dhcp
 # /sbin/dhcpcd 
dhcpcd[9643]: version 5.2.9 starting
dhcpcd[9643]: eth0: rebinding lease of <IP address>
dhcpcd[9643]: eth0: acknowledged <IP address> from <ISP server>
dhcpcd[9643]: eth0: checking for <IP address>
dhcpcd[9643]: eth0: leased <IP address> for 85962 seconds
dhcpcd: eth0: MTU set to 576

hmm, why is it adding -D :
in /lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks line 156:

# Send a command to a system service
service_cmd()
{
	/sbin/rc-service $1 -- -D $2
}

is this right?
