Dhcp client configuration on a Tru64 box

[Dennis Grady]

Try this,
 
4.4 Tru64
Use setup (sysman -menu on 5.x systems) or set in your /etc/rc.config:
IFCONFIG_0="DYNAMIC"
todo: on 5.1 it doesn't work for me. seems if the ethernet device is not started (autonegotiation) when the dhcp client script runs.
solution, a small patch to /sbin/init.d/inet:
