We are investigating getting bootpd running on our HP 9000/825 so we can use bootp on our workstations running NCSA Telnet to generate IP addresses for each PC. We have the Berkeley bootp 2.0 source and HP ARPA Services. There are lots of undefined variables arising from the make. Questions : 1. Has anyone got the PD version bootpd going on 9k ? 2. Has HP a bootpd product or equivalent ? 3. Is there a better/easier way to get IP addresses for workstations on the 9k, than the workstation using bootp ? Any help/advice appreciated - mail directly to me if possible. barry@giaea.oz.au

Bootp and tftp are both included and supported in HP-UX 8.0. HP-UX 8.0 should be available now, contact your local sales center for more info. David Wetchler Information Networks Division Hewlett-Packard davidw@hpda.cup.hp.com

HP's X terminals use bootp as a standard start-up mechanism. bootpd is a standard part of HP-UX network code as of HP-UX 8.0. In addition, CMU bootpd code should compile and run on 8.0. Ted Rypma HP Panacom Division
