QUESTION: How do I get dhclient to correctly set the interface netmask when the system boots? Once the system is booted, I cannot SSH into the system until I have logged in via the console and restarted dhclient(8) (`service dhclient restart em0`). ACTIONS TAKEN: I've installed 10.2-RELEASE[uname] from scratch. My [/etc/rc.conf] specifies that the em0 interface should have dhclient run on it. Running ifconfig(8) prior (ifconfig-0.out) and post (ifconfig-1.out) dhclient, I found that the netmask is set incorrectly after boot: # ifconfig -a > ifconfig-0.out # service dhclient restart em0 Stopping dhclient. Starting dhclient. DHCPREQUEST on em0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from 192.168.20.1 bound to 192.168.20.166 -- renewal in 43200 seconds. # ifconfig -a > ifconfig-1.out # diff ifconfig-0.out ifconfig-1.out 4c4 < inet 192.168.20.166 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 192.168.20.166 --- > inet 192.168.20.166 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.20.255 My [/etc/dhclient.conf] file is unchanged from the system default. The DHCP server is an residential wireless router. All other devices are receiving DHCP configurations from the router without issue. Thank you in advance for any assistance!
