That should disable IP address negotiation, forcing the client to use what the server says. I'm using this option for dynamic IP allocation, since it forces the client to use the IP address specified in the options.tty* file. > Despite runnning Stable I am still getting the left over arp entries > appearing after a user falls off the system.

The fix in -stable doesn't prevent the ARP entries from sitting around, but it prevents them from being a problem. Your script is probably unnecessary. ===================================================================== | Steve Reid - SysAdmin & Pres, EDM Web (http://www.edmweb.com/) | | Email: steve@edmweb.com Home Page: http://www.edmweb.com/steve/ | | PGP (2048/9F317269) Fingerprint: 11C89D1CD67287E68C09EC52443F8830 | | -- Disclaimer: JMHO, YMMV, TANSTAAFL, IANAL. -- | ===================================================================:)
