That opinion, of course, is your perrogative. I do agree that the high frequency of renewals in tony's case is probably due to some (mis)configuration on the dhcpd side. Although, why dhclient should now log this useless information is beyond me. I consider it to be a minor bug. <soapbox>BUT, I don't agree with saying that just because a component of FreeBSD has worked in the past, means it should always work. Esp a component that has been MFC'd reciently. An MFC that has produced at least one legitimate bug thus far.</soapbox> Ok, I'm done.
