Nope. The DHCPREQUEST, DHCPACK AND tftp: client does not... lines don't
appear at all.

I have no idea. It certainly wasn't anything I did manually as I wasn't even
aware there was such a directory until today. Sometime before the "crash", I
did install a few packages (in my effort to set up some controls over the
internet access of my clients). I installed (and subsequently, post-crash,
uninstalled) Firehol, Dansguardian and Squid. I think that was all.
Thanks again
