As networks are being configured today, there are many users that may end up being left out in the cold, or hat least aving to go through a particular amount of effort to install. Let's not unncessarily bring up this thread again, so test all posible arguments against the archives :) A new breakthrough would probably be welcome, though. In my mind, the general doesn't-recompile-the-kernel user would especilly not go through the hoops it may take to install without DHCP support. -Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
