So all these plans Well, you could always check the FreeBSD cvs repository to see who imported dhclient (a hint, it's brooks), and drop him an email... And as the last status report says: OpenBSD dhclient Contact: Brooks Davis Contact: Sam Leffler The OpenBSD rewrite of dhclient has been imported, replacing the ISC dhclient. The OpenBSD client provides better support for roaming on wireless networks and a simpler model of operation. Instead of a single dhclient process per system, there is one per network interface. This instance automatically goes away in the even of link loss and is restarted via devd when link is reacquired. To support this change, many aspects of the network interface configuration process were overhauled. Support for adding aliases to DHCP configured interfaces has been committed to CURRENT and will be merged before 6.1-RELEASE. Soon work will begin to merge changes from OpenBSD that have taken place since the initial import. Work on further interface configuration enhancements is underway for FreeBSD 7.0. and both -arch and -current are good places to raise the topic... Good luck in bring things back together... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
