But that's irrelevant. My point is that csh was upgraded to tcsh because csh was an old crufty version that had no bells/whistles/functionality/usable history and all the rest of that good stuff. > 2.

That functionality should be up to date. I would guess that the ratio of bootp users against dhcp users is rather low. I believe the issue is ``bootpd must be nuked, should dhcpd be imported ?''. > > dhcpd is the currently maintained, good copyright version of bootpd. > > Only version 2, which is in security bug fix mode only. *shrug* Still better than bootp :-I > -- > -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
