Description Chris Frederick 2009-10-14 14:14:14 UTC 
This patch adds "-whitelist", and "-W" to the command line options and "whitelist" to the dhcpcd.conf file.  This allows you to use whitelisting for validating dhcp servers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Assuming you have your dhcp server on 192.168.0.1
2. /sbin/dhcpcd -whitelist 192.168.0.1
3. User violates policy and adds a wireless router with dhcp enabled to the network
4. dhcpcd will ignore the dhcp replies from the unknown router
