Well, I received no replies, so I am assuming that no one has done
this.

> Hi all,

> I know that I could use /etc/ethers and rarp to do this, but I would

> organization.
>
> I have multiple Sun workstations (sun4c, sun4m running SunOS 4.1.n),
> and would like to have these machines get their IP, gateway,
> nameserver, etc information from a central bootp/dhcp server so that
> if a range of IPs need to be changed, all that is needed (at worst) is
> a reboot of each machine.
>
> Has anyone set up an rc script(s) to do this that would be willing to
> share? It would also be nice (although I am not sure if this would
> even work) to be able to reconfigure machines on the fly, without the
> need to reboot.
>
> Is there any experience doing this out there?
>
> As usual, I will summarize to the list.
