Some additional info. this line showed up under /var/log/daemon:
Feb 16 14:17:56 bauer dhclient[7009]: buf_read (connection closed): No
such file or directory
Feb 16 14:17:56 bauer dhclient[7009]: exiting.
dhclient is indeed dead.
I would expect dhclient to stop working if the interface it's supposed
to work on would be brought down, which it does. The error message is
different though:
Feb 16 14:43:47 bauer dhclient[5194]: buf_read (connection closed):
Undefined error: 0
Feb 16 14:43:47 bauer dhclient[5194]: exiting.
So I would assume that on the first example, something messed with the
external interface, which shows in dhclient exiting.
Any ideas?
Thx,

Good afternoon gentlemen.
Just curious if someone had the following issue:
- Setup: 1 machine with an atheros PCMCIA card and a PCI-PCMCIA bridge
as nat gateway on OBSD3.8.
Nat gateway machine has 2 internal interfaces (re0, re1) and
one external (ath0) 1 lovely windows machine on WinXP for games
- At random intervals, connectivity to the Internet is lost, but
pinging the internal interfaces works. There are 2 such interfaces,
re0 and re1. Both can be pinged. External addresses like google can't
be pinged (it hangs as if it's waiting for DNS)
- When one tries to ssh to the OpenBSD box, authentication is
requested. After successful authentication, connection seemingly hangs
for about a minute or so. Then access is granted.
- Pinging google from the nat gateway does not work at this point in
time, the behaviour described above takes place (long wait, followed
by actitivy).
- Doing "ifconfig ath0 down" followed by "ifconfig ath0 up" fixes the
issue, till the next time it happens (this is usually days or weeks).
Any ideas?
Thx,
P
