The net/wide-dchp port has dhcpc which configures your an interface you give it. It can also change your hostname and/or your resolv.conf if you tell it. The net/isc-dhcp2 port has one too.. Actually whats a bit annoying is there is no program I've seen which gets a DHCP lease and actually tells you about it, instead of setting your interface up automatically.. (which means its a bastard to test a DHCP server) --------------------------------------------------------------------- |Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software | |http://www.gsoft.com.au | |The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to| |choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
