Out of curiosity, does anyone know of a way I can have dhclient mail me or
in some other way notify me of the IP address it receives?

The reason I ask is that I have a Quadra 950 on which I've just installed
NetBSD, and as promised,  booter runs, flashes the screen, and I'm left
with a beautiful picture of my desktop.  Apparently at this point NetBSD is
running happily in the background.
I went back into the Installer to change my ttys file to allow root login
on ttyp0 and realized that I'm also going to have to run dhclient at boot
time.  No problem there, I'll just throw it into one of my startup
scripts...  but that leaves me with the question of how do I find out what
IP address is being used.  I'm guessing there's a way to mail it to myself,
but I'm afraid I'm still a bit of a novice and don't know how to manage
this yet.

TIA.
