I had the same problem, and a quick search on deja fixed it. You have to patch /usr/src/contrib/isc-dhcp/client/dhclient.c, or just upgrade to 4.1 STABLE, as it's fixed in there. Once you patch that file, go into /usr/src/contrib/isc-dhcp/client/ and do a "make all install". --Erick At Wed, Aug 09, 2000 at 10:47:22AM -0500, Alan Edmonds said this: :: Ditto here.
