      Run this from a shell:

      /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
      fetch -o /sbin/dhclient http://www.pfsense.com/~sullrich/dhclient

        Thanks, that seems to have done the trick. you guys rock. By the way, did I need to restart anything? I just ran the command and it hasnt reappeared in the log for at least an hour.

            Just out of curiosity, I rebooted my machine when I got home from work, and the DHCP client wont work. I chcked the interface settings, and it seems to look fine. There was nothing in the logs, but the Status:interfaces page said DHCP: Down. I clicked renew about 100 times, still no workie!!

                    Thanks,

                    Ya know, I should really know better than to check the permissions!! I am supposedly a RedHat Certified Technician, but I gues it still makes me a pfsense certified Newbie.

                    But since that other dhclient wasnt running until now, we cant be sure that the whole log problem is fixed. I will check back and post my results in an hour or so.

                    Thanks again!
