Gilbert is actually my surname. All three of my names are reasonably
common as both first *and* last names -- so I don't use my middle name,
to avoid unnecessary confusion.

In the sources for my RELENG_9 system, those are "dhcp-class-identifier"
and "user-class", respectively. These appear to be the names used in the
port as well. dhcp-class-identifier works, but user-class does not. The
problem appears to be that it is missing from the array
dhcp_option_default_priority_list in tables.c. The user class option
hasn't been deprecated or otherwise have a good reason that I can see
for being left out, so I think it's just a bug and the option should be
added back in. There are 3 or four other options that are missing from
that list; I wonder what they are.
Good luck.
