RELENG_4, cvsupped within the last 4 hours
Bugs not evident as of last cvsup around mid-June.
>Description:
dhclient seems to have two odd bugs:
1) the broadcast address applied to the interface, if
not specified by the DHCP server, is wrong - on this
/24 it gets a.b.c.0 instead of a.b.c.255
2) the "domain" specified by the DHCP server somehow
gets "\000" (four characters, NOT a literal null)
appended to it before dhclient-script uses it to
build /etc/resolv.conf.
>How-To-Repeat:
run dhclient with a DHCP server that doesn't supply
broadcast address. (Not sure what triggers the "\000"
feature.)
>Fix:
Unknown.
