I can think of two ways to enable the user to configure the client port, one is to add a command-line flag to bootpd, the other one is to infer the client port number from the server port number, which is what the attached patch does.
Would people be comfortable with modifying bootpd in one of these two ways ?
I agree that this would be a desirable feature.
Whether to allow a client port other than bootps_port+1 is an interesting question. I don't recall the spec prohibiting it, but one could imagine someone somewhere wanting to use 1067 and 10068. I don't know that we want to accomodate that ... seems a bit feeping to me ... but it is an interesting question. Maybe for that we say "if you are that insane, you have to edit /etc/services".
Perhaps a
case 'p'
in "Read switches" block? Or maybe it is time to reuse 's'? How long has it been deprecated?
