No, I did not ask the DHCP mailing list about it. You are welcome to do so if you wish. However, please note that (a) pxeboot is FreeBSD-specific, and (b) dhclient-script is OS-specific by design. I have to say, I'm baffled as to why you are looking so hard for ways to obstruct this simple bugfix. John -- John Polstra John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
