In article <XFMail.990209165224.doconnor.kithrup.freebsd.current@gsoft.com.au> you write: >Hmmm.. This annoyed me actually.. >There is NO config file which means its damn annoying for you to tweak how it works.. Would you please settle on a set of misinformation and stick with it? isc-dhcp's client *does* have a very extensive configuration file. Same parser as the server. In 99.9% of cases, it needs to be a 0-length file. In some other cases, it needs to be configured. Due to a bug in the version of isc-dhcpd at work, for example, I needed to have a /etc/dhclient.conf file that looked like: send dhcp-client-identifier "sef-laptop"; There are a bunch of things I could specify. Interestingly enough, they're documented in dhclient.conf(5), which comes with the isc-dhcp package. So: not only does isc-dhcp have extensive configuration options, but, in the common case, it's not needed at all.
