luigi 2002/03/13 01:23:11 PST Modified files: sys/nfsclient bootp_subr.c Log: Add a readonly sysctl variable of type string, kern.bootp_cookie, which is initialized with whatever string a dhcp/bootp server passes as vendor tag 134. There is no standard tag that I know with this information, and no vendor-defined tag that applies to FreeBSD that I could find doing the same thing. The intended use is to pass information to userland for run-time configuration of a diskless client without having to run a bootp/dhcp client for the third time (after the one in pxeboot/etherboot, and the one in the kernel bootp), also because these clients generally screwup the interface configuration, which is not exactly what you want when you have your disks nfs-mounted. Manpage update to follow soon.
