I have bootp 2.1a working fine here. There were some porting issues, as I recall, mainly having to do with the variable-length structure being returned by SIOCGIFCONF. If you're interested in the diffs, let me know (as well as others). I figured someone else had done this by now....but if not, I would be happy to make the diffs available on the net. What I'm using bootp for right now is so that the PC on my local net running MSDOG & Clarkson's CUTCP/CUTE can bootp its IP address, netmask, gateway, and nameserver from the FreeBSD machine. It works quite well. -- Gil Kloepfer, Jr. Home: gil@limbic.ssdl.com / ...!moxie!limbic!gil
