OpenBSD dhclient
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
