FreeBSD 6-STABLE has imported dhclient from OpenBSD: OpenBSD dhclient as of OpenBSD 3.7 has been imported. It replaces the ISC DHCP client used in prior versions of FreeBSD. (http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/6-STABLE/relnotes/i386/article.html) making /etc/dhclient.conf no longer accept this syntax: send fqdn.fqdn "some.host.name."; send fqdn.server-update on; Ironically, OpenBSD 3.8-current has reverted back to accepting this DDNS related syntax a month or so ago. Is there a chance we get a fresher merge from OpenBSD?

A merge would have been far too high risk a month ago, much less now. Probably before 6.1 though. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.

My Unix clients are configured as follow: interface "if0" { send domain-name "example.com"; send host-name "hostname"; } The server has, in the conrresponding subnet : option fqdn.server-update true; option fqdn.encoded true; Regards, -- -jpeg.
