Doug Barton 2fadfa2cfb For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.

This is the WIDE implementation of DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
server, relay agent, and client. DHCP, which is defined by RFCs 1534, 1542,
2131, and 2132, provides information to a computer over a network about the
configuration of that network.
To use DHCP, configure your kernel with the following line added to your kernel
configuration file (/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/<YourMachine>):
pseudo-device bpfilter 4 #Berkeley packet filter
and make bpf devices in your /dev directory: /dev/bpf[1-3]:
cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV bpf1 bpf2 bpf3
Without the relay agent, the dhcpdb.relay file is needed. The DHCP
client(dhcpc) in this port supports dynamically changing /etc/resolv.conf and
hostname via DHCP infomation.
o `-r' is recreate /etc/resolv.conf
(resolv.conf file is overwritten.)
o `-n' is reset HOSTNAME
Please read more information in /usr/local/share/doc/dhcp/intro.dhcp or
intro.dhcp.jis.
