In-Reply-To: <199712010338.TAA21671@precipice.shockwave.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've been pretty happy with the overall quality of the isc dhcpd kit. The one we have in ports is the conservative -stable cut of their code, and I don't know if it comes with a client for us. I've been running the development snapshot version for our 2K+ host network and it works pretty well on the server side. But you asked about the client; FreeBSD is supported in the development version as a client - I haven't got around to trying it yet but it is worth a look. I believe just in the last few days a new kit has been released with updated scripts. -Chris On Sun, 30 Nov 1997, Paul Traina wrote: > Oh, cool, I didn't see the netbsd one.
