dhclient if_name without sudo in ubuntu-docs

Bug #144285 reported by Heikki Mäntysaari on 2007-09-23

Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

In ubuntu-docs (Gutsy, section 'Internet') there is a following string:
"From the Terminal enter the command: dhclient if_name where if_name is the connection listed earlier."

But this can't work because dhclient requires root privileges. So it should be: "-- command: sudo dhclient if_name --".
