Import dhcpleased(8) - a dhcp daemon to acquire IPv4 address leases
from servers.
dhcpleased(8) follows the well known three process design of all our
privsep daemons. It uses pledge(2) and unveil(2) to restrict access
further. In particular the "engine" process, responsible for parsing
of untrusted data, is pledge'd "stdio". It cannot access the outside
world nor the filesystem at all.
Like slaacd(8) for IPv6 it will be always running and acquire addresses
for all interface with the autoconf4 flag set.
The flag can be set by "ifconfig $if inet autoconf" or by adding
"inet autoconf" to /etc/hostname.if. An existing "dhcp" line should
be removed.
