CVSROOT:/cvsModule name:srcChanges by:deraadt@cvs.openbsd.org2022/07/02 11:21:32Modified files:sbin/dhclient : dhclient.c Log message:dhclient(8) has been undergoing replacement with "ifconfig xxx inet auto"for a couple of years, backed by dhcpleased(8), which provides much betterdns handling. The next step is to make the dhclient simply execveifconfig in that way, and provide syslog warnings about deprecated optionsalong the way. This way, we can find the last few dhclient users, and whatthey are missing.ok florian krw
