Yes. It is a current version and regulary updated.

s/OpenBSD/NetBSD/

I've done the review and import of the code. It still needs some
polishing work to integrate it, but it is nice, small code.
E.g. the dhclient binary is 6x larger than dhcpcd :-)

I'm not convinced that privilege separation is buying much for a dhcp
server, but I haven't bothered to check which parts are having what
priveleges.
