I have noticed that the dhclient in -stable (don't know about -current) passes the bound socket (to port 68) to it's children. This is a big problem when you run things out of dhclient-exit-hooks as any persistent children prevent a new instance of dhclient from binding this port :( I have a patch here -> http://www.dons.net.au/~darius/dhclient-coe-bug.diff This seems to fix the problem for me. (And probably has nasty side effects I'm not aware of :) --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
