In practice, if you want the clients to update before their existing lease is due for renewal, you generally have to go around to the clients individually. Or plan ahead. If you know you will be changing some lease options you should set the lease time down to something small at least $(current_lease_period) seconds ahead of time. Then you can be fairly certain that all systems will get a new lease within $(new_lease_period) seconds of you change. Afterwards you can increase the lease period back up. Of course, this assumes you were not handing out infinite lease periods. -- -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers-- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
