AHA! where is my head? All the FreeBSD machines run samba.
# nmblookup asus fueno dv6000 hp_pavillion nat-valid-name \
| sed -e '/^query/d' -e '/name.*failed/d' -e 's/<00>//'
192.168.2.6 asus
192.168.2.3 fueno
192.168.2.5 dv6000
192.168.2.4 hp_pavillion
and, put this in /etc/hosts, periodically.
Then, all I need to know is the names of the machines, which I can put
on one machine and copy it to others.
Any other ideas?
