Just been 'playing with this' and have got a problem :-(
In the e-smith mgr I create a host name 'ted', ip 192.168.1.5 and
ethernet/mac address.
I then reconfig my NT box to use dhcp and reboot it. The NT box then grabs
the first Ip on the dhcp range ( 192.1681.1.65 ) instead of the static IP
that I was thought I was doing with the above config.
I have taken Gordon's comments to mean that if I assign a host name, mac
address & IP in the e-smith mgr and then reconfig the client computer to use
dhcp then it will pick up the ip etc from the e-smith box as I have
configured it. Is this correct?
If so it doesn't seem to be working.
I have checked the /home/dns/var/named/db.xxx.xom fiel and the info
configured from the e-smith mgr appears to be there although I can't see
where the mac address is used.
