To setup dhcpd, you may have to copy /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf.sample to /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf for editing.

This port installs dhcp daemon, but don’t invokes dhcpd by default. If you want to invoke dhcpd at startup, put these lines into /etc/rc.conf.

      dhcpd_enable="YES"                          # dhcpd enabled?
      dhcpd_flags="-q"                            # command option(s)
      dhcpd_conf="/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf"      # configuration file
      dhcpd_ifaces=""                             # ethernet interface(s)
      dhcpd_withumask="022"                       # file creation mask

If compiled with paranoia support (the default), the following lines are also supported:

      dhcpd_chuser_enable="YES"                   # runs w/o privileges?
      dhcpd_withuser="dhcpd"                      # user name to run as
      dhcpd_withgroup="dhcpd"                     # group name to run as
      dhcpd_chroot_enable="YES"                   # runs chrooted?
      dhcpd_devfs_enable="YES"                  # use devfs if available?
      dhcpd_makedev_enable="YES"                # use MAKEDEV instead?
      dhcpd_rootdir="/var/db/dhcpd"               # directory to run in
      dhcpd_includedir="<some_dir>"               # directory with config-

                                                    files to include
      dhcpd_flags="-early_chroot"                 # needs full root

If compiled with jail support (the default), the following lines are also supported (-early_chroot and dhcpd_chroot_enable=YES are implied):

      dhcpd_jail_enable="YES"                     # runs imprisoned?
      dhcpd_hostname="<hostname>"                 # jail hostname
      dhcpd_ipaddress="<ip address>"              # jail ip address
Warning
 dhcpd_rootdir needs to point to a full jail(8) environment.
Warning
 never edit the chrooted or jailed dhcpd.conf file but /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf instead which is always copied where needed upon startup.
Warning
 /usr/local/etc/rc.isc-dhcpd.conf is obsolete. rc.conf like variables are still read there but should be moved /etc/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf.d/dhcpd instead. Also, the dhcpd_options variable must
