That makes the -b (become a daemon immediately) less useful. Ctrl-C at that point makes the whole rc.d script fail. >How-To-Repeat: Set background_dhclient="YES" in rc.conf, remove ethernet plug (I assume that it is a rl0 iface) and run /etc/rc.d/netif restart rl0 Notice the long wait. >Fix: Move the checking for link (/usr/src/sbin/dhclient/dhclient.c) after the first go_daemon case. Problems might be chroot and fork_privchild. Untested. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
