Kai - to answer your questions, my network consists mostly of laptops<snip>
that come and go and some desktops. All are dual booted to either Windoz
or Linux, users choice. Our DHCP server does know their names and does
assign a fixed static internal network address to each one. So that
simplifies the problem a lot.
Also we have a static file system structure that must be set up on each
system so we can work with that.
Marc,
An even easier way for the dual-boot laptop issue, (if your users are smart
enough to maintain the same hostname in Linux and windows) is to configure
dhcpd.conf like:
subnet 192.168.6.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option domain-name "3111skyline.com";
ddns-domainname "3111skyline.com";
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.6.110 192.168.6.150;
default-lease-time 28800;
max-lease-time 172800;
zone 3111skyline.com. {primary 127.0.0.1; key DHCP_UPDATER; }
zone 6.168.192.in-addr.arpa. { primary 127.0.0.1; key DHCP_UPDATER; }
#
# We want P35a to appear at the same fixed address regardless of
# which OS is booted to prevent multiple dhcp leases belonging to the
# same hardware address
#
host P35a.3111skyline.com {
hardware ethernet 00:26:f5:17:2d:83;
fixed-address 192.168.6.101;
}
That way no matter which OS they use, the IP dhcpd hands out is always the
same for the same hostname/mac address of any given box.
