No, actually I have
dhclient=YES
(vi's a drag in caps mode, huh?)
I believe it's the only way I could have generated the DHCP diagnostic
messages at the end of my message.
I really have read the FAQ's...I hope I didn't miss something
that silly. (I will of course accept my shame if I did...)

Do you have :
#DHCP
dhclient=3DYES
in /etc/rc.conf? Look in /etc/defaults/rc.conf for more help.
