I think setuid in the client is not a feature that was incorporated in
the freebsd changes.

Which is ironic when you consider that the client is used far more
often in FreeBSD than the server.

This is a feature we need in DHCP one way or the other - I'll create
a ticket to remind me to evaluate these patches for 3.1.0.

So long as we're at it, the relay software could probably use this
as well.
