System: NetBSD bigbrother.rightnowtech.com 1.5_ALPHA NetBSD 1.5_ALPHA (BIGBROTHER) #1: Tue Jul 18 22:41:44 PDT 2000 root@bigbrother:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/BIGBROTHER i386


>Description:
Dhclient starts up after things like inetd and ntpdate.  Obviously, this
is going to cause some problems.  Xntpd, in particular, will run much better
if ntpdate can successfully run first; but ntpdate can't run if the network
isn't up.
>How-To-Repeat:
Enable dhclient, ntpdate, and xntpd; and rm /etc/ifconfig.*.  Reboot.
>Fix:
I'm really very hesitant to dig into the PROVIDE/REQUIRE stuff in rc.d,
but it seems that dhclient should be a required by network.
