It looks to me like you're not running dhclient with sufficient permissions (i.e. not as root), or you have a firewall that doesn't let the traffic through. I cannot find a reference to it in the man files. It is a nuisance. When I am editing a config file with vi, this message get written into the file, and over cofig file lines. How can I turn it off. The message is written on your terminal, but should not be written into the file. Does pressing crtl+l help restore the screen? You could redirect the standard error stream for dhclient to /dev/null when you start it up: dhclient 2/dev/null. Or kill dhclient while you're editing. Alternatively, you could keep a copy of the FreeBSD servers configuration files (/etc and /usr/local/etc) on your workstation (e.g. in ~/setup/server/) where you can edit them at your leisure and keep them under revision control. After making changes you could can synchronize with rsync, provided you have rsync running as a daemon on the server. Roland -- R.F.

I vaguely recall that this can have more than one cause, and therefore more than one solution. That's just a vague recollection. In my case, it was caused by interaction between dhc protocol and my firewall. YMMV. My Internet connection worked fine for months at a time, aside from a flood of send_packet: permission denied messages. Then I would have a day or two of periodic outages, and then I'd lose the connection completely and have to reboot the cable modem. When the connection was reestablished, I'd have a new IP address. My solution is in the archives, here: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-questions/2005-January/071412.html Again, I can't promise that it will solve your problem.

This happened to me briefly last week when my ISP decided to replace the router/DHCPserver that I happened to be connected to with a new one with a new IP address. dhclient wasn't too happy about that. I rebooted and all was fine, but in the meantime I got this message. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
