I got a copy of "dhcp-2.0pl5.tar.gz" and did the make install. It was
necessary to rename /sbin/dhclient to /sbin/dhcpcd before things worked
properly. Is the name dhcpcd predefined somewhere? Is the package
I used the one you meant?

Not sure what you mean by the pump program but I guess I can figure
that out with a little digging (a lot of this is very new territory
for me).

The message appears immediately before the messages:
INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
Master Resource Control: previous runlevel: N, switching to runlevel: 3
Re-Starting RPC portmap daemon
