FWIW, I've integrated both the WIDE DHCP client and server pieces into a PicoBSD image. I started out trying with ISC, but WIDE ended up being much easier to deal with. The ISC server does have a nicer configuration syntax, but the WIDE client is easier to get going with. - Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
