Thanks Daniel, I would have spent all weekend trying to get some kind of dhcpd file going. It's definitely a lot nicer adding via LWAT and not having to update anything else after that.
I haven't been able to full test to see if what you said works since I installed over the lenny workstation I had going before I got your email, but I should be able to when I get back to work this week. Now I've added some windows machines and have noticed that I can log-on to tjener (domain is set to skolelinux) and I don't have to setup static IP addresses or samba hosts. Is this correct? I thought I had to preauthorize each windows clients with a mac address, but it looks like any windows machine, as long as it's domain is skolelinux, will connect and users can have roaming profiles and read their home directory perfectly fine. This works for me, but is there a reason I should also add samba hosts? Seems to work perfect without even adding static samba hosts.
