My FreeBsd 8 system has recently developed an annoying habit of running dhclient during reboot. There is only one Ethernet card (xl0), and it is not supposed to be using DHCP -- it has a static IP address assigned in rc.conf. During the last couple of reboots dhclient has assigned a second IP address, and things have gone downhill from there. Is there a configuration knob somewhere that will say "never run dhclient" or "never run dhclient on xl0", or do I need to take a sledgehammer approach (like hacking on /etc/rc.d/dhclient, or replacing /sbin/dhclient with a link to /bin/true)? These are the settings in /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_xl0="192.168.0.81 netmask 255.255.0.0" defaultrouter="192.168.0.1" nfs_server_enable="YES" check_quotas="NO" rpcbind_enable="YES" nfs_client_enable="YES" sshd_enable="YES" inetd_enable="YES" kern_securelevel_enable="NO" linux_enable="YES" moused_enable="NO" moused_type="NO" sendmail_submit_enable="NO" sendmail_outbound_enable="NO" sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO" lpd_enable="YES" and this is what "ifconfig -a" reports (after I've used "ifconfig xl0 -alias 192.168.0.3" to remove the extra IP address): xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=80009<RXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,LINKSTATE> ether 00:b0:d0:22:5a:14 inet 192.168.0.81 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 192.168.255.255 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active plip0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM> inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 nd6 options=3<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV>
