Hi all. I saw the announcement for RFC1395, BOOTP extensions. I
asked if anybody had coded them yet, and apparently nobody had. So I
modified the CMU bootp server (2.2-ALPHA) to support the four new
fields, and invented sumbolic tags for them:
bootptab
Symbol Tag What
md 14 Merit Dump File (whatever that is).
dn 15 Client Domain Name
ss 16 Swap Server Address
rp 17 Root Path Name
The only one I tested was domain_name.
This version is called 2.2-ALPHA+FdC. Source code, Makefile, man
page, sample bootptab are available via anonymous ftp from
watsun.cc.columbia.edu [128.59.39.2] in the bootp directory.
If anybody cares to check this, I'd be grateful -- I didn't put a lot of
thought into it -- just did what seemed obvious. If it looks OK, maybe
somebody could announce it wherever new BOOTP versions get announced?
Btw, the next release of MS-DOS Kermit (currently running in-house)
supports the "dn" field, so now we can configure thousands of our users
on dozens of different subnets with exactly the same TCP/IP network
configuration: SET TCP ADDRESS BOOTP. Period. Saves us a lot of work
and headaches!
Thanks.
