This is an enhanced version of the CMU BOOTP server which was derived
|
|
from the original BOOTP server created by Bill Croft at Stanford.
|
|
This version merges most of the enhancements and bug-fixes from the
|
|
NetBSD, Columbia, and other versions.
|
|
|
|
New features in version 2.4 include:
|
|
|
|
Added a simple BOOTP gateway program: bootpgw
|
|
Allow host name anywhere IP address is expected.
|
|
Automatically lookup the IP address when the name of a
|
|
bootptab entry is a valid hostname.
|
|
(Dummy entries names should start with '.')
|
|
Merged changes from NetBSD and Columbia versions.
|
|
Merged changes for Solaris-2.X and SVR4 systems.
|
|
Combined bootptest into the bootp release.
|
|
Merged tag 18 support (:ef=...:) from Jason Zions.
|
|
Use :ef=extension_file_name: and make the
|
|
extension files for all clients using bootpef.
|
|
Merged HP compatibility (:ra=...:) from David R Linn.
|
|
Allows you to override the reply address.
|
|
(i.e. send the reply to a broadcast address)
|
|
Add /etc/ethers support for NetBSD.
|
|
More systems support getether (Ultrix, OSF, NetBSD)
|
|
Added RFC 1533 tags 40,41,42
|
|
:yd=<NIS domain>:ys=<NIS server>:nt=<NTP server>:
|
|
ConvOldTab.sh to convert old (1.1) bootptab to new format.
|
|
Permits extended-length replies with more option data.
|
|
|
|
Problems fixed in this version:
|
|
|
|
Fixed references to free host structures.
|
|
(used to cause core dump on Solaris)
|
|
Remove change that added null terminator to string options.
|
|
(this annoyed some clients...)
|
|
Add missing symbols to dump routine, fix order.
|
|
Works (again) with no -DSYSLOGD defined.
|
|
Fixed several more NULL references in readfile.
|
|
Added proper length checks to option insertions.
|
|
Fixed bootptest IP address printing.
|
|
Cleaned-up signed/unsigned and byteorder bugs.
|
|
Added SVR4/Streams support to getif and getether
|
|
Removed extra newlines in syslog messages.
|
|
Specify facility code when calling syslog(3)
|
|
When lookup_hwa fails, assume numeric HW address.
|
|
|
|

|
|
NetBSD-1.0 (BSD-4.4 derivative)
|
|
SunOS 4.X (Solaris 1.X)
|
|
SunOS 5.X (Solaris 2.X)
|
|

|
|

|
|
