dhclient

[Bob Hall]

I'm getting the following message:
	dhclient: send_packet: Permission denied
I thought this was being caused by my firewall, but I made 
some changes and I'm still getting the message. Being 
wholly ignorant about this message, I'm assuming that 
dhclient is trying to send a packet to my ISP's DHCP server, 
and something is blocking it. I'm further assuming that 
my firewall is doing the blocking, and my ignorance is 
preventing me from finding a solution. Can someone tell me 
if my assumptions are correct, or correct them? 

The firewall is ipfw with the SIMPLE option. The modifications 
to the firewall script for DHCP were
	# Accept bootps (dhcp):
	${fwcmd} add allow udp from ${oip}/32 68 to 0.0.0.0/0 67 out
	${fwcmd} add allow udp from 0.0.0.0/0 67 to ${oip}/32 68 in
 
I don't know enough about DHCP to know what other info to provide. 
The following seems to be the default. I'll provide any other 
info if it will help.
