Hi,
I now did fail another time trying to set up DHCP on Solaris using
the Sun supplied DHCP service.
Sun dhcp is just completely disappointing:
- On OpenSolaris, the DHCP is completely unusable because
it's configure method depends on java which is not redistributable.
So it is impossible to create a OpenSolaris based distribution
that includes a working dhcp service.
- The configuration is completely cryptic and it is impossible to
understand what to do from reading the man pages
- Why does PXE require to do extremely cryptic things?
- add_install_cliant is broken with respect to PXE configuration:
- It does not configure PXE
- it configures one songle GRUB configuration for _all_
clients
- /tftpboot/rm.client will remove the Grub single configuration
for all clients.
Could someone please point me to the advantages Sun dhcp should have compared
to ISC dhcp?
Could someone tell me why Solaris does not use ISC dhcp?
After compiling ISC dhcp, it takes only 2 minutes to configure ISC dhcp...
Jörg
