DHCP was configured with sysinstall (/etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP"), and /etc/dhclient.conf is empty. In fact I do have a good network connection. The problem is that I get the following annoying error messages about every two to five minutes: Nov 13 13:43:59 Klabautermann dhclient: slp-directory-agent: 4 extra bytes at end of array Nov 13 13:43:59 Klabautermann last message repeated 2 times Nov 13 13:43:59 Klabautermann dhclient: parse_option_param: Bad format a Nov 13 13:46:26 Klabautermann dhclient: slp-directory-agent: 4 extra bytes at end of array Nov 13 13:46:26 Klabautermann last message repeated 2 times Nov 13 13:46:26 Klabautermann dhclient: parse_option_param: Bad format a These messages are more a nuisance than anything else, still I would like to get rid of them. I updated the system last week (tag=RELENG_5), but that did not help. Interestingly, I do not see these messages when running Debian GNU/Linux on the very same computer. Google did not reveal anything helpful. Thanks in advance for any help or pointers, Chris
