Cannot get dhcpcd-{gtk,qt} to work (NetBSD 9.3/x64)

[Ottavio Caruso <ottavio2006-usenet2012%yahoo.com@localhost>]

Hi,

I have just built a minimal NetBSD installation with XDM and CTWM.

I can get dhcpcd (command line) to work as root for both wifi and
pseudo-ethernet connection.

I have installed both dhcpcd-gtk and dhcpcd-qt.

I believe they should be launched as standard user, as long as the
user is in the wheel group.

$ dhcpcd-qt
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-oc'
System tray may not be available
Connecting ...
Status changed to down
dhcpcd_open: Invalid argument
dhcpcd_open: No such file or directory

[ ... hangs and must be killed]

$ dhcpcd-gtk
** Message: 15:35:33.417: Connecting ...
** Message: 15:35:33.417: Status changed to down

** (dhcpcd-gtk:5068): CRITICAL **: 15:35:33.418: dhcpcd_open: No such
file or directory

[same as above]

In the installation messages, I've seen this:

===========================================================================
The following files are used by dhcpcd-9.4.0 and have
the wrong ownership and/or permissions:

        /etc/rc.d/dhcpcd (m=0755)

===========================================================================

Any clues?
