DHCP3 Server on FreeBSD 4.11

[Paul Taylor]

Glenn,

Thanks for the suggestions, but I'm still coming up with the same  
failure...  You said that it built for you - Are you on FreeBSD 4.11,  
or a newer build of FreeBSD?

I ask because the maintainer of this port stated in this post (http:// 
lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-April/084442.html)  
that he didn't have a FreeBSD 4.11 box to test on and that that  
particular user's problem was related specifically to 4.11.

I'm actually doing this to try to create a monowall development box,  
which uses 4.11 as a base system.  My FreeBSD box is actually a VM.   
We need to be able to create our own special builds of monowall to  
add at least one new feature.  The way things usually work is that  
one real reason starts us tinkering, then many additional features  
are suddenly "needed" once management realizes that we can add  
them...  :)
