FreeBSD can no and will not provide direct support for every random daemon someone choosed to write via /etc/rc.network. That would be insane. Since FreeBSD does not ship with a dhcpd, it will not support it via /etc/rc.conf at this time. However, you can start dhcpd by placing a script like the following in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, named dhcpd.sh or similar: #!/bin/sh [ -x /usr/local/sbin/dhcpd ] && /usr/local/sbin/dhcpd fxp1 -q && echo -n ' dhcpd' -- Brooks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
