I had to convince our lan admin to use linux DHCP instead of winNT DHCP also. The only thing that convinced her to switch was loading webmin on the linux box and showing her a nice web gui for administrating the DHCP server; and then of course actually proving a win box get its DHCP download from the linux DHCP server.
Most MCSE admins are afraid of *nix and the CLI. Perhaps this is the case here? If so, you may try loading and showing webmin to your company so they can see how flexible linux DHCP is and how it can serve win boxen just fine. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Original Message <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< On 10/1/01, 11:31:39 AM, "Mark Evans" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote regarding Re: [Ltsp-discuss] RE: Launch the Citrix Client instead of XDM: > > Actually, I haven't even gotten this far yet.
