This is intentional. We have not yet modified the DHCP client to avoid
processing data obtained from the network as root. Only the DHCP server
and relay have been modified for that.
If you want to take the risk anyway, you can edit the following line in
native/Owl/packages/dhcp/dhcp.spec:
%define BUILD_DHCP_CLIENT 0
set it to 1, then build the package with "make PACKAGE=dhcp".
Owl is primarily intended for servers, so providing a DHCP server was a
higher priority for us.
