avahi and zeroconf could be an help. With avahi-daemon running every
where and avahi-dnsconfd I just type « ssh -l login myhostname.local »
or « ssh -l login myhostname.lan » depending on your configuration.

You've got lanmap to, though it doesn't seem maintained IMHO and it
depends on nmap.

Configuration sample are even given in isc-dhcp-server default conf
file, richly commented out.

Re: [gentoo-user] Automation: Ripping DVDs to disk

[Vincent-Xavier JUMEL]

>From what I understand, you want to automate a ripping process. Ripping
is the easy part since you don't want to bother with encoding. In my
opinion, you should had a udev line that fire up a
mencoder/transcode/vlc/vobcopy/ session,
clean the swap and then eject the CD.

The udev manpage is quite clear on the subject, examples are all around
the net.

Cheers.

Have you look on how X.org packages are built on your computer. You should build
it with udev support.

If you're using vlc 1.1.0 or above, you should have read
http://www.videolan.org/press/2010-1.html which informs about the
situation and why the VLC team had had to removed it.

Did you tried to start nscd daemon to cache entries for the nsswitch

I've been working around this for a while, and one of the best solution
is to have a slave LDAP on every single host.
