Yes. Two privsep'ed implementations were mentioned on owl-dev. We need to package one of them. Probably ndhc: http://www.openwall.com/lists/owl-dev/2011/05/03/7 Since you say "by default", I assume that you're aware that you currently can enable DHCP client support at your own risk by editing one line in dhcp.spec. # We do not officially support the DHCP client because it is rather # complicated, yet it runs entirely as root, which we find an # unacceptable and unjustified security risk. If you enable this # setting, then you're essentially running your own revision of this # package, and you're on your own with possible vulnerabilities. %define BUILD_DHCP_CLIENT 0 Alexander
