Subject: Follow up on dhclient(8) to dhcpleased(8)/resolvd(8) switch
X-Git-Url: http://artulab.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4d1cb75e42d1e84fe500257b7f0e95d1687b6ac6;p=openbsd

Follow up on dhclient(8) to dhcpleased(8)/resolvd(8) switch

hostname.if(5)'s "dhcp" no longer triggers dhclient in any way, so suggest
the simple "inet autoconf" instead while mentioning "dhcp" as an alias for
that.

Add markup to changed sentences while here.
There is more room for improvemen in this manual.

Feedback deraadt, "go ahead"
