add/change/delete dhcpd.conf entries
In a DHCP server managing fixed IP addresses, one needs to make changes often: new people need their Mac address given a IP addres, people leaving need to be deleted, people changing an old for a new computer need a Mac address change for the same IP, etc... All this information is recorded in the /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf file. I know, there is the omapi command shell (/usr/local/bin/omshell) but as far as I can see, you can only use it interactively. Or am I wrong? I would love to have a simple command line tool that allows you to make changes to your dhcpd.conf file without needing to use an editor or omapi. e.g. for a new entry, something like: # dhcpdmgr -A 175.134.34.128 -c John.Adams PC -i 00:34:1A:23:4A:0F 175.134.34 which would add IP 175.134.34.128 in subnet 175.134.3 for mac address 00:34:1A:23:4A:0F with a comment John.Adams PC and with other options for delete (-D), make changes to comment, IP or Mac, etc... Does anyone have such a command line tool? With that command line tool one can easily make a wrapper script, presenting you with a menu of frequent operations, and with extensive checking of your input data. I use such a wrapper script, making use of Solaris pntadm (DHCP network table management utility) command line tool. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
