OK, I will admit to my ignorance of *BSD. I have never used any of them,
so I'm not really sure where they put things. Thanks for the pointers.
I'll look into the *BSD's and try to make the tools as well-rounded as
possable.

I agree. However, the installer can/will install the configuration
utilities.

Is this line "USERNAME		SECRET		ASSIGNED IP" ? If so, then that is the
same as the syntax as the chap-secrets files (at least how I do it,
anyway).

That is a little tough. dhcpd config files are different for every dhcp
server out there. The syntax changes alone would be near impossable to
impliment. I'm not quite sure why it would be needed, either? But, as
everything should be, this will be 100% open source (under GPL). So, if
anyone wants to muck with it and add dhcp support, go for it.
