>Description:
dhclient, as shipped with NetBSD has the unlink() call commented out in
dhclient.c, which causes /tmp to fill up with dcs* script files. Uncommenting
this call seems to cause no ill effects (been running that way for ~2 months)
and resolves the problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run dhclient.
>Fix:
Uncomment existing unlink() call in dhclient.c source
