In this case, I actually assume that the DHCP server will be providing the host name and specifically *ignore* the user-provide hostname field since our dhcp client integration is still a bit green and you'll just override the DHCP server assignment for the hostname with the user-defined one if it's written to rc.conf. > 2. motd was full of garbage.

I guess we need to build our own XF86 distribution with the a.out libraries built or we need to somehow stuff those into a compat dist. Ugh, either option is pretty ugly. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
