high performance open source DHCP solution?
The free DHCP solution, ISC, seems to be having scaling issues (i.e. handling only about 200 DHCPDISCOVER and 20 DHCPRENEW requests), and I was wondering if anyone had any open source suggestions of solutions that could scale much better?

f/oss routing solution
I'm looking for an open source router solution, and someone from the list recently recommended zebra (www.zebra.org).

hack tool for finding IP assigned to MAC address?
Assuming I have only my laptop (Linux, OS X, Windows, etc), how can I find the IP address of a MAC address, particularly if I only know the vendor numbers of that MAC address? e.g.aa-bb-cc-11-22-33 Say I desperately need to find the IP of the device with aa-bb-cc as the MAC, how can I find it's IP address? Is there a little hack tool that I can load on my laptop and blast out some sort of multicast traffic or something and see what IP the device sends back? Had I at one point known the IP address, then I could of course just do an "arp -a" to find it. But we're assuming that we do NOT have an IP address...
Debian equiv to Windows' procmon?
Being relatively new to Debian / Linux, I'm looking for equivalents to Windows tools that I'm used to. For example, what is the "equivalent" to Window's procmon? Something like 'ps -ef', I know, gives a basic overview of what's running, but how do you drill down and correlate that with other things, such as users, files, etc? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx It does the following (many of which, such as DLLs, aren't applicable in *nix environments). * Monitoring of process and thread startup and exit, including exit status codes * Monitoring of image (DLL and kernel-mode device driver) loads * More data captured for operation input and output parameters * Non-destructive filters allow you to set filters without losing data * Capture of thread stacks for each operation make it possible in many cases to identify the root cause of an operation * Reliable capture of process details, including image path, command line, user and session ID * Configurable and moveable columns for any event property * Filters can be set for any data field, including fields not configured as columns * Advanced logging architecture scales to tens of millions of captured events and gigabytes of log data * Process tree tool shows relationship of all processes referenced in a trace * Native log format preserves all data for loading in a different Process Monitor instance * Process tooltip for easy viewing of process image information * Detail tooltip allows convenient access to formatted data that doesn't fit in the column * Cancellable search * Boot time logging of all operations
'input / output error' when using ntfs-3g on Sid-based Helix Live CD
I'm having some weird issues with Helix (a Sid / Knoppix based distribution). For whatever reason, I periodically get an "input/output error" while a disk is mounted, and the only way to fix it is to umount and then mount again via ntfs-3g. Here's a more detailed list of what I've been doing. So, I mount with ntfs ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/bigusb/ Once I see that ok, then I create folders and files in that mount point. After a while, however, something dies, and if I do an "ls", I'll get "input/output error", and I have to umount /dev/sdb1 and if says the device is busy, then I close whatever other thing (usually LinEn or another terminal window) that might be accessing it. Once it dismounts, then I try it again with ntfs-3g. I've never had this problem on any other implementation of ntfs-3g (on Knoppix or on the Gentoo-based System Rescue CD), and I'm wondering how to best narrow down the problem. i.e. (1) quirks with ntfs-3g? (2) quirks with LinEn (Encase imaging tool)? (3) hard drive errors? In one case, I simply took out the hard drive, formatted in Windows XP (e.g. format e: /fs:ntfs /q), popped it back in, remounted, and all was ok for a while. Perhaps there is a "better" way to do this in the Debian / Linux environment? Thanks
wget'ing files with relative paths
I'm trying to wget some very specific files off a web page, but some of the paths are relative paths (e.g. ../path/to/file) rather than abosolute (e.g. http://direct/path/to/file). Obviously, when wget gets to that part, it craps out... Is there a switch in wget (in Etch - latest wget package) that lets me maintain this session? I tried some of the options here ( http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/html_node/HTTP-Options.html), but it's not working, and I'm hoping someone here might point me in the right direction.
