Workaround: I downloaded dhclient-2.0pl5 from isc.org and installed that. And it works fine. That's a crusty and not thoroughly secure version, but this box is behind NAT and a firewall so is safe enough for now. Since I installed 5.3-RELEASE as a minimal base-only system specifically so as to install as much as possible from ports for upgradability, I hope that doesn't foul that up! - d. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
