Your kernel > env dhcp variables are really good. i was thinking of adding something like this to dhcp: option FBSD.rc-conf "132.65.16.100:/c/conf/rc.conf.foo"; and bootp can then tftp/nfs the file and parse it, making the result available via kenv and there is no real problem to concatenate serveral conf files - just comming up with a nice/simple syntax :-) as a proof of concept, there is no major problem to tftp this, but only from one/initial host, to make it realy flexible there is one major obstacle, the stand alone io has to be modified/augmented/complicated to have more than one socket. so, 1- is there a market for this? 2- is this a bad idea? 3- any work done already? danny To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
