Would it be possible to have the ISC/DHCP port 'patch' the system easily for these kinds of things, or better yet add a new 'rc' file that gets run *after* rc.conf but before rc.network, thereby relying less on FreeBSD's changing file? Then, you'd have the best of both worlds, the ability to keep the 'base' stuff clean from non-existant FreeBSD sources, and also the flexibility of being able to have the new functionality at boot time. Ff/when DHCP gets integrated into the tree I think it should get 'hooks' in the standard files. Nate ------- end of forwarded message -------
