Summary: Check_dhcp sends broadcast with IP instead of 0.0.0.0

Initial Comment:
check-dhcp uses an ip address from the host as source address for dhcp requests instead of 0.0.0.0
These dhcp packets get filtered by reverse path checks -> tests fails :(


check_dhcp v1991 (nagios-plugins 1.4.12)


eth0: IP XY
eth1: no IP

check_dhcp -i eth1 uses IP XY...

Message:
The bug is still there..

>From RFC 2131:
"DHCP messages broadcast by a client prior to that client obtaining its IP
address must have the source address field in the IP header set to 0."

The problem: check_dhcp.c is opening a UDP-socket. The os is setting the
source address. One solution would be to take the logic from a real
dhcpclient: using a IP-socket and set all ip-fields by hand.
