System: NetBSD hopper 1.3H NetBSD 1.3H (MULTIA-ROUTER) #0: Sun Sep 6 00:01:36 EDT 1998 mycroft@snorklewacker.mit.edu:/u1/var/tmp/MULTIA-ROUTER i386
>Description:
The NetBSD 1.3.2 dhclient-script(8) man page appears to contain a
couple of minor but confusing errors.  In one case, it appears that
dhclient-script is referred to as "dhclient.conf", and in another
ARPCHECK is used when ARPSEND is meant.
>How-To-Repeat:
man dhclient-script
>Fix:
Here is a context diff with what I believe to be right.

  The DHCP client wants to know if a response to the ARP request send

  with a nonzero status, indicating that the offered address has already
  been requested and should be declined.   $new_ip_address and
  $interface are set as with ARPSEND.
