Hello list,
 
    I've inherited a messy WinXX environment in a place with a few linux servers, and am trying to get backuppc going as a solution.  They are currently without any kind of backup plan at all (ouch!).  We hope backuppc can prevent a lot of nightmares.
 
    I'm reading about the hosts file, adding hosts, and nmblookup and getting a sinking feeling... I have over 100 PCs here with various manufacturer-default names (HP1337ROFL etc) and no naming scheme whatsoever.  Can i get away with a
 
host    DHCP
*            1
 
in my hosts file :D or am i doomed to getting a list of every windows client's hostname and punching all 10^2 of 'em in manually??
 
Thanks,

Rob Munsch
