When dhclient first starts, if an old IP address exists in the dhclient.leases file, dhclient(8) sends early DHCPREQUEST message(s) in an attempt to re-obtain the old IP address again. These messages contain the old IP as a requested-IP-address option in the message body (correct) but also use the old IP address as the packet's source IP (incorrect). RFC2131 sec 4.1 states: DHCP messages broadcast by a client prior to that client obtaining its IP address must have the source address field in the IP header set to 0. The use of the old IP as the packet's source address is incorrect if (a) the computer is now on a different network or (b) it is on the same network, but the old IP has been reallocated to another host. Fix dhclient to use 0.0.0.0 as the source IP in this circumstance without removing any existing functionality. Any previously-used old IP is still requested in the body of an early DHCPREQUEST message. PR: 199378 Submitted by: J.R. Oldroyd <fbsd@opal.com> Reported by: J.R.

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information).
The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
The buildkernel
and installkernel
targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.
Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), and https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
buildkernel
and installkernel
targets, you might need to build
world before. More information is available in the handbook.
The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
