obsd/cox conversion

[Lisa Winkler]

Bob,

I think I got connected with an empty dhclient.conf, but right now I
have only:

send dhcp-lease-time 86400;

because the default requested lease time is 2 hours, and I didn't really
want to request 2 hours in case the server was kind enough to comply! 
Right now I am getting 12 hour leases.  Also I have had the same IP
since I first brought it up on Saturday.

I already had OpenBSD installed but was using it as a bridge, not a
firewall.  So I'm not sure about your install questions.  I didn't add
any arguments to ifconfig, just changed hostname.ne1 to contain "dhcp".

I don't see any way of spoofing a MAC address like dhcpcd does.  I
didn't have problems but I was also registered for 3 IPs through Cox and
had only used 2 of them so far since the conversion, so that might be
it.  (Yes, I'm about to get rid of the silly extra ips :) )
