Subject:   problem with dhclient after update to FreeBSD-8.3
Message-ID:  <BLU0-SMTP126348B7AB577C4DB317120932D0@phx.gbl>

I just updated my system to "FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE #0" from version 8.2. I
was getting warning messages regarding "webcamd" at boot-up; however, I
got them fixed (I think) I loaded: cuse4bsd_load="YES" in the
loader.conf file and placed: webcamd_enable="YES" in the rc.conf file.
I had never used it before; however, I am assuming that the 8.3 version
somehow requires it.

I am still receiving an error message regarding "dhclient". This is an
snippet of the screen logging at boot-up:

nfe0: link state changed to DOWN

dhclient already running? (pid=435).


"dhclient" is listed as starting at the beginning of the log and again
at the end. I never had this happen when using FreeBSD-8.2. I am still
confused as to why "devd" wants to start "webcamd"

All I guess I really have to get corrected is the "dhclient" thing,
assuming it is a real problem and just not some useless noise.
