I haven't had any trouble setting up bootpd, however i'm not booting any machines off it, only supplying IP addresses for HP JetDirect cards etc. Start the program from the shell in standalone mode with some -d debug level to see what happens. Of course, you must not enable it in inetd simultaneously (but can do this once you've setup the configuration). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
