Followup-To: poster Date: 25 Jul 1993 05:46:58 GMT Organization: School of MPCE, Macquarie University, Australia. Lines: 13 Distribution: world Message-ID: <22t6oi$9ba@sunb.ocs.mq.edu.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: macadam.mpce.mq.edu.au Summary: Is there bootp client code using Berkeley Packet Filter available? Keywords: bootp bootpd bsd net2 bpf bootpc bootps Originator: acagney@macadam.mpce.mq.edu.au Hello, Has any one implemented a bootp client for (386)BSD? Such a client could turn on the IP network during a BSD host's boot process with out having to use hardwired values. Am I correct in assuming that such a bootp client would (could) be implemented using bpf (Berkeley Packet Filter)? Andrew - aka Noid (Please don't confuse this with bootpd, a bootp server) (If all else fails I suppose I could hack my bootp/tftp prom code :-)
