It annoys me that we have to resort to BPF to send IP datagrams on

I've sent lots of datagrams on un-numberred interfaces using netgraph..


I should qualify my post a bit more: I began thinking along these lines
with the intention of enabling ISC dhcp (and dhclient) to be compiled
without using bpf support. I don't have the time or interest to port ISC
dhcp to use netgraph, but I'd be interested to see the results if that
happened.




Just one quick question. Does the use of this option require root privilege? I think it should :-)


netgraph requires root privs to set up a graph..


Later,
George
