Hi, now the release is over, so here is one of the items I had in my submit queue: the import of the OpenBSD dhclient.
It is a clean rewrite (in some parts) of the ISC dhclient and contains nice features like privilege separation. IIRC Hasso also discovered an issue with our dhclient, but I can't remember what is was :) I have the client running on a number of machines for some months and experienced no problems. To build the OpenBSD dhclient you need a recent kernel (sys/net/bpf.c, rev 1.43) and you need to rebuild world and kernel. To install the client perform the following steps: # cd /usr/src/sbin # fetch http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~matthias/sbin_dhclient.tgz # mv dhclient dhclient.isc # tar xfz sbin_dhclient.tgz # cd dhclient # make && make install dhclient will complain about a missing _dhcp user but will fallback to nobody. If we're going to import the dhclient I'll add the appropriate user. Regards matthias
