I'm not HRS, but as it uses netlink, how does NetBSD use it? (i.e.
how do we simulate that?)
dhcpcd has a driver per OS:
BSD == route(4)
though sometimes I wonder if that could not be improved.. it's now
what? 35 years old?
Linux == netlink(3)
Solaris == route(4) along with an unholy mashup of streamio(7)
I try and keep OS specific defines out of the main code.
dhcpcd is also in the FreeBSD ports tree and is currently up to date.
Nice to know.
I guess the question is really "How compatible with ISC/dhclient is it
(seems somewhat so), does it give us advantages over staying with the
current tools, and how supported are the other tools, vs these?
Every tool set comes with advocates and someone is sure to be upset if
we choose one. :-)
A dhcp Client is a necessary part of the OS (though a bit less so with
IPV6) but the serer side can be a port. (as it is).
