    Description

      0.4.8-RC-16-gaf545fe gcc dbg does not allow the DHCPSVC to be stopped due to

      base/services/dhcpcsvc/dhcpcsvc.c	 331     ServiceStatus.dwControlsAccepted = 0;

      Windows XP and 2k3sp2 (and Win7) do not forbid this and from a security pov,
      I think it's very important that user has the power to stop all network related services at his will. (Just imagine there would lurk an unnoted sec-vuln within)
      User must have power to mitigate then.

      I would insist on that feature even if service would be not written to perfection yet and still having issues in the shutdown sequence.
