>Description:
Under certain circumstances (not getting any answer from the dhcp
server) the /etc/dhclient-script invokes arp and sed.
But these programs live on /usr which may not be mounted when
dhclient runs.
>How-To-Repeat:
Start dhclient without a server.
or
Inspect /etc/dhclient-script
>Fix:
Dunno what the right thing is.
