As part of my miniature DHCP/DNS server project,
we are using a (heavily) modified version of 'net', in the
circumstance where:
* Only one ethernet interface (but don't necessarily know the type)
* No other IP interfaces (except lo0)
* Very unqualified persons might need to reconfigure its IP address
The box will ultimately serve DHCP / DNS / NTP / TFTP to support
remote sites, plus incoming telnet and ftp for updates. Currently
it has everything except DNS and NTP. As part of this I needed to
greatly simplify the IP configuration; in the final version there
will also be an astonishingly simple screen editor.
At present the method of ip configuration might be of interest:
The solution I'm using here is a *very simple* unified configuration
file /etc/ip.conf which contains:
IP Address / Netmask / NS / Def Gate / Name / Domain
We have a very simple editor for this file, called ipconfig,
and a hacked rc.conf.
I'd be happy to post early versions of this if someone would give
me ftp upload on a suitable box. (Alternatively I'll e-mail people
if they like.) Remember this is *WORK IN PROGRESS* and changes
every day. On the other hand, it does work!
Best regards,
J.
