You don't have to subscribe to send a message to them and you can view the reply from the mailing list archive on the FreeBSD web site. That said, are you trying to configure DHCP as a client or as a server? I can guarantee you that's the first question people will ask if you do bring this over to freebsd-questions. As for telent/SSH, I don't recommend telnet at all; it's notorious for being insecure since everything's done in the clear and someone who's sniffing your connection can get your username and password easily. Plus SSH has more features, including port forwarding and scp and sftp; you can use it as a secure FTP server when you use sftp into your box running sshd. A simple sshd_enable="YES" in your rc.conf file will turn the SSH server on when rc.conf is read again, either from rebooting or returning from single-user mode. You can read the sshd man page and look through the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file to find out more in addition to posting your question in freebsd-questions. This page in the FreeBSD Handbook will also give you some tips: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/openssh.html Hope this helps. - Dave V.
