Well, when I invoke 'service dhclient start em0' and em0 isn't DHCP-enabled, I want to see some diagnostics on why I was not able to get DHCP on that interface. Return code isn't that visible (I can, of course, always run it as 'service dhclient start em0 || echo failed'), but I am not up to typing more than needed and I should see the real reason for absence of DHCP-assigned address in that case, be it the non-DHCP-enabled interface or some other problem. -- Eygene Ryabinkin ,,,^..^,,, [ Life's unfair - but root password helps! | codelabs.ru ] [ 82FE 06BC D497 C0DE 49EC 4FF0 16AF 9EAE 8152 ECFB | freebsd.org ]
