Hi,

I try to configure a bootpd server but it doesn't work.
I've added the following line in the inetd.conf :
---------------
bootps  dgram  udp wait root /usr/sbin/bootpd  bootpd
---------------

inetd start bootpd but after, nothing happens.
the bootptab has the following line:

alto:ht=ethernet:ha=0050C2015417:ip=172.20.23.36:sm=255.255.255.0

it works on NT.

I only use bootp to give an IP address to the host.

any idea?

Thanks,
Alain.

The arp layer is missing some functionality in the current release.
This has been addressed in the next patch which is also to include
a bootpd.
