Actually, the check_dhcp plugin requires quite an overhaul. It looks 
like it's only half done and it's full of strange code. Like this example;
#if defined(__sun__) || defined (__hpux__) || defined (__solaris__)
...
#define bcopy(source, destination, length) memcpy(destination, source, 
length)
...
#endif
which doesn't make any sense, seeing as bcopy(3) conforms to BSD4.3 and 
is deprecated whereas memcpy(3) conforms to ANSI C, SVID and BSD4.3 (why 
they had two nearly identical functions beats me) and will probably 
never be deprecated.
