There's actually no need to patch the server like that.   You can just 
define those options in the dhcpd.conf file.   Since the options are in 
violation of the DHCP standard, it would actually be inappropriate to 
patch the server like that.   But it's easy to make it work in the 
config file:

option mac-nc-client-unknown code 220 = string;
option mac-nc-client-id code 221 = string;
option mac-version code 230 = string;
option mac-user-name code 232 = string;
option mac-password code 233 = string;
option mac-nb-image code 234 = string;
option mac-apps-image code 235 = string;
option mac-machine-name code 237 = string;
option mac-client-nb-image code 238 = string;

if (option mac-nc-client-id = "Apple MacNC") {
   option dhcp-max-message-size 576;
   option dhcp-parameter-request-list 1, 3, 230, 232, 237, 233, 234, 
235, 238;
}

I am not _absolutely_ positive this will work, because it's a BOOTP 
client and not a DHCP client, but it should work, and if it doesn't, I 
can suggest patches to make it work that would be preferable to the 
patches provided at the Mac site.
