But that is ugly, as you now need to track the ethernet address in /lib/ndb/local and possibly in the DHCP configuration, when all the pertinent details can be obtained from the DHCP server. Are there any philosophical reasons that the DHCP data, retrieved using ip/ipconfig, say, cannot at least supplement whatever may have been already set up by termrc (or cpurc)? If there isn't I'll gladly look into it, DHCP isn't entirely alien to me. ++L
