I'm getting the following message:
dhclient: send_packet: Permission denied
I thought this was being caused by my firewall, but I made
some changes and I'm still getting the message. Being
wholly ignorant about this message, I'm assuming that
dhclient is trying to send a packet to my ISP's DHCP server,
and something is blocking it. I'm further assuming that
my firewall is doing the blocking, and my ignorance is
preventing me from finding a solution. Can someone tell me
if my assumptions are correct, or correct them?
The firewall is ipfw with the SIMPLE option. The modifications
to the firewall script for DHCP were
# Accept bootps (dhcp):
${fwcmd} add allow udp from ${oip}/32 68 to 0.0.0.0/0 67 out
${fwcmd} add allow udp from 0.0.0.0/0 67 to ${oip}/32 68 in
I don't know enough about DHCP to know what other info to provide.
The following seems to be the default. I'll provide any other
info if it will help.
