|Hello folks!

|I would like udhcp to use setuid so that it can drop privileges after the
|server socket is built. However, the server socket is inside a loop and is
|re-created every time there's a bad packet.

|privileges after the server socket is created.

|ble?
Ah and if you only could do something against the sleeps.
That would be a miracle.
