I'm on the Samba mailing list, and I just saw this very interesting bootp patch: > To: samba@cscgpo.anu.edu.au > Subject: DHCP > Message-ID: <199501152331.KAA06622@arvidsjaur.anu.edu.au> > > DHCP (could it be Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol?) is a way for > large groups of WfWg and NT boxes to get their net setup from a > central location. > > Jeanette Pauline Middelink <middelin@calvin.polyware.iaf.nl> has > written a patch to bootp which allows a unix box to be a DHCP server. > > I haven't tried the patch, but I've put an e-mail from him containing > the patch on nimbus.anu.edu.au in pub/tridge/samba/contributed/DHCP.patch > > It contains some instructions. > > Andrew This is Microsoft Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Or for anyone who hacks this as a client in the diskless code after adding the bootp patch, it's a way to dynamically assign IP addresses for a lab full of *BSD boxes. Anyone up for committing the patch to bootp (minus the Makefile stuff)? Someone probably needs to contact the author to ensure copyright OK.
