Hi All,
I've been researching this issue although it may be minor I don't like to rely on the
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" unless I have to. I'm sure you understand...anyway,
http:www.freebsddiary.com has a tutorial that with info I could not find in "The
Complete FreeBSD" or "Absolute BSD". It described two entries; one in dhclient.conf
and the other in rc.conf. See Below:
###########################
dhclient.conf
###########################
interface "dc0"{
send host-name "redgate";
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers, domain-name-servers, domain-name,
time-servers;
require domain-name-servers;
###########################
rc.conf
###########################
ifconfig_dc0="DHCP" #IS THIS VARIABLE DECLARATION CASE SENSITIVE???
hostname="redgate"
###########################
The question I have now is if this is all I have to do to get dhcp running at startup?
I anyone else has any suggestions they are welcome. Unfortunately I cannot test this
until the evening so feedback will be very helpful and will save me some time
researching. Thanks in advance.

Subject: DHCP and rc Questions For FreeBSD 4.10???
Hi All,
I have installed FreeBSD 4.10 to serve as a headless gateway/router/firewall/NAT. The
first problem that I have run into can probably be resolved easily. I tried to
configure my NIC card via sysinstaller. However, rc.conf does not have a startup
variable for "dc0". Therefore dhclient is inoperable.
I built this box to be headless therefore it is low-tech with no floppy or flash drive
and is currently a stand-alone machine so I am not able to copy the rc.conf file to
this post. "dc0" is working because I can bring its status to active manually: '[EMAIL
PROTECTED] ifconfig dc0 ether up'.
I was wondering what what variables should be assigned to rc.conf, the related
variables I have thus far are:
##########################
ifconfig_dc0="dhcp"
dhcp_program="/sbin/dhclient"
dhcp_flags=" "
##########################
It would be appreciated if someone could attach or copy an rc.conf file for a similar
system configuration. Thanks in advance.
HZS
