Hi Georg I agree with you. My reply to this query said "This is not absolutly true" "you must have the clients in /etc/hosts" "you must have the clients specified in dhcpd.conf (ip or name)" I see many hastles trying to do this with dynamic dhcp, plus you need to use mac addresses for the client in lts.conf. For someone setting up a system I say do not use dhcp range options. (which is easier to administer: keeping tabs on MAC addresses or hostnames ?) I hope that my answer provided guidance in the right direction James
