Hmm, It looks like from the man page (man bootpd) that you might need to give the path to the bootptab file in inetd.conf. Try: bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/bootpd bootpd /etc/bootptab Permissions of 644 root.wheel should be fine. Sorry, I don't run bootp on my FBSD boxes, it seems to be a bit different from Suns. Is the bootptab file referencing files from tftp to load? That's the other possiblity as to a problem. If that file doesn't exist. But, I bet it's probably the different inetd.conf entry. Dave, don't just reply to me. Be sure to keep Cc:ing to questions@freebsd.org. That way others can help, too. I don't have all the answers, and I'm not always available. After all, we are all just users here, there is no FreeBSD help staff. Paul. -- Paul T.
