For some of us it is basically in muscle memory to type doas dhclient $wifiinterface
when visiting somewhere, but from this day forward we will rely on dhcpleased(8) to do its job, which in my own experience does admirably.
In this commit, Theo de Raadt (deraadt@
), executed the removal.
The commit message reads,
List: openbsd-cvs Subject: CVS: cvs.openbsd.org: src From: Theo de Raadt <deraadt () cvs ! openbsd ! org> Date: 2024-06-30 17:30:54 CVSROOT: /cvs Module name: src Changes by: deraadt@cvs.openbsd.org 2024/06/30 11:30:54 Modified files: distrib/sets/lists/base: mi distrib/sets/lists/man: mi etc : Makefile sbin : Makefile Removed files: etc/examples : dhclient.conf sbin/dhclient : Makefile bpf.c clparse.c conflex.c dhclient.8 dhclient.c dhclient.conf.5 dhclient.leases.5 dhcp.h dhcpd.h dhctoken.h dispatch.c kroute.c log.c log.h options.c packet.c parse.c privsep.c privsep.h
So long, old friend! We will remember you fondly.Log message: delete dhclient(8). ipv4 dhcp leases have been acquired by the always-running-in-background dhcpleased(8) for a while, which is activated per-interface with "ifconfig $if autoconf', or "ifconfig $if inet autoconf", or with "inet autoconf" in /etc/hostname.$if dhclient(8) has done execve(3) of ifconfig(8) to handle this for a while, so everyone has moved to the dhcpleased(8) method ok florian
And then we will look forward to this among other good things to happen in OpenBSD 7.6 in the (Northern hemisphere) fall.

As many asked for this as for removing net-tools along with ifconfig by default from all crappy linux distributions forcing us to use the ip tool (big mid finger).
