I'm posting this again in hopes that someone who has some insight into dhclient will notice it and respond. I'm getting the following message: Aug 21 13:00:03 kongemord dhclient: send_packet: Permission denied I don't believe the problem is the firewall for the following reasons: 1) DHCP works. I acquire and renew leases without any problems. 2) The IP address:port# pair for the failed connection is generally listed in messages when a connection attempt is blocked at the firewall. I've never received this message at a time when I didn't have an IP address, but the socket pair isn't listed. 3) Over the past couple of months, I've tried the following ipfw rules, without any change. ${fwcmd} add allow udp from any bootpc to any bootps keep-state out via ${oif} ${fwcmd} add allow udp from any bootps to any bootps keep-state out via ${oif} ${fwcmd} add allow udp from any to any bootps keep-state out via ${oif} Note that ipfw rewrites the last as $fwcmd add pass udp from any to any 67 keep-state out xmit ${oif} The two are equivalent. I'm not an expert on ipfw rules, and the problem could still be the firewall. I'd appreceate input from someone who knows more about it than I do.
