 All right, I've had enough of your tilting at windmills.  This battle
 has been fought and lost already.  E-mail is the de facto way to
 collaborate, and that includes collaborating with documents and
 files.  If you weren't supposed to send or receive binary attachments,
 e-mail clients wouldn't allow it (nor MTAs, for that matter).  Even
 UNIX command line e-mail clients have had this capability for... what,
 decades?  Stop crying about your made-up rules that the protocol
 standards don't seem to agree with.

 There are a bunch of neat products out there that can strip _large_
 attachments off and place them on a secure webserver, but these are
 not a reasonable way to send _every_ attachment.

 Some system administrators believe it's their place to tell entire
 companies how they should do everything.  These administrators tend to
 not be very employable.

 Thanks I ll try to remember that.



 If anyone else knows where I should start and they feel like then can help
 me out I would very much appreciate it.
 I m not subscribing to this mailing list to waste anyones time I m
 subscribing in the hope of getting valuable help.
 Neglecting that wasting my times with an arrogant answer like that is
 perfectly ok.



 I m no expert on OpenBSD far from it. I have had it running on a router for
 a couple of years. Never needed any interaction.

 But those things that I learnt is soon forgotten as I don t use it much.

 And searching on google have been fruitless I have been doing that for the
 last couple of hours.



 But sorry if I offend anyone by my question.

Re: Release IP-adress OpenBSD 3.8

Okay, so here are the steps that should have been taken to find the answer
to the question asked.

I want to release the IP-adress?
I have had it running on a router for a couple of years. Never needed any
interaction.
the correct answer is you can't.

man -k dhcp - Me

$ man -k dhcp
dhclient (8) - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client
dhclient-script (8) - DHCP client network configuration script
dhclient.conf (5) - DHCP client configuration file
dhclient.leases (5) - DHCP client lease database
dhcp (8) - configuring OpenBSD for DHCP
dhcp-options (5) - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol options
dhcpd (8) - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Server
dhcpd.conf (5) - dhcpd configuration file
dhcpd.leases (5) - DHCP client lease database

$ man dhcpd

DHCPD(8)OpenBSD System Manager's Manual
DHCPD(8)

NAME
 dhcpd - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Server


 -L leased_ip_table
 When an address is leased dhcpd will insert it into the pf(4)
 table named leased_ip_table.  Addresses are removed from the
 table when the lease expires.  Combined with the table of aban-
 doned addresses, this can help enforce a requirement to use
DHCP
 on a network, or can place DHCP users in a different class of
 service.  Users are cautioned against placing much trust in
Eth-
 ernet or IP addresses; *ifconfig(8) can be used to trivially
 change the interface's address*, and on a busy DHCP network, IP
 addresses will likely be quickly recycled.

$ man ifconfig

Next time don't be so quick to tell other to read man pages then suggest
something cant be done. (You might learn something if you read them in there
entirety)

Cheers,
Jim

I agree entirely! The OpenBSD developers should surely be raised upon
