 |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.
 |
 |I am proposing moving the server socket out of the loop and letting udhcp

 |privileges after the server socket is created.
 |
 |Is there a reason to continue re-creating the server socket after a bad
 |packet arrives? If not, then will the change I propose be deemed accepta\
 |ble?

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