It's more flexible, too.
I guess I will still edit config-files. But there is a "demand" to simplify things, such as assigning fixed IP-address, and adding new hostnames to DNS. And so far the best way to solve this has seemed like adding the hosts into ldap, and then build the config-files for DNS and DHCP from the data in ldap. -- Finn-Arne Johansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bzz.no/ EE2A71C6403A3D191FCDC043006F1215062E6642 062E6642 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
