Hi, does anyone have up-to-date information on which bootp/dhcp tags are used by FreeBSD ? I am asking because of two reasons: + I would like to pass some info from the bootp/dhcp server to userland, so they can be used at runtime to customize system's behaviour (specific example: I have ~100 clients in different labs booting from the same server, where configuration should be lab-specific but not host-specific. A bootp server could easily pass the "domain" each host belong to. I know I could derive this info using the hostname as a search key, but this would involve an additional configuration file...). + I was going to fix the bootptab manpage and i see that there are several vendor tags used in bootpc_subr and in etherboot which are not documented. Even worse, some of those tags are not consistent across different systems, and even etherboot and bootpc_subr.c have different ideas on T129 and T130 cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
