      Hi
      I upgraded a machine to 0.1beta3 and all my machines using dhcp could not get an ip.
      I checked the pfsense machine (web interface) and noticed dhcp server was not running.
      It doesn't show up in status services.
      I attempted to start it via shell on the firewall and got an error that "/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf" was not found.
      I found it in "/var/dhcpd/etc/dhcpd.conf" and made a link to it. then started dhcpd successfully. My systems using dhcp received an ip.
      But it still is not showing up in status services in the web interface.
      Should I update some files via update_file.sh to correct anything? Or is it just my system that got messed up in the upgrade?
