True, but it CAN be done. The 2.0.5 bootpd is apparantly ver 2.4.0 . If you grab the 2.4.3 sources and apply a patch, you'll find that DHCP works quite well. Dynamic assigning is not supported, but static works great. To do this, grab ftp://firewall.mc.com/pub/bootp-2.4.3.tar.Z and ftp://nimbus.anu.edu.au/pub/tridge/samba/contributed/DHCP.patch Untar it, apply the patch, type 'make'... and away it goes. You might have to install it by hand, because I seem to remember that the makefile puts it somewhere funky if you do a 'make install'. Or you could simply edit the Makefile. :-) After that, add a :dl=[# of seconds for address lease]: entry for each DHCP client in your bootptab and it should start DHCPing for you! Hey FreeBSD maintainers!! Shouldn't we change the bootp in 2.1 or 2.2 to this version (with the patch)? later, --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Owens Email: owensc@enc.edu "I read somewhere to learn is to Information Technology Services remember... and I've learned that Eastern Nazarene College we've all forgot..." - King's X -------------------------------------------------------------------------
