Recently, our SE provided us with a copy of bootp which had been
ported internally by HP staff and made available to users publicly.
We've made the proper changes to /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services
to include bootp and created a few entries in the file /etc/bootptab.
Currently, we've been trying to have a HP-vectra running ncsa-telnet
use the bootp to determine ip address and domain name servers and such.
We have verified that a connection is being initiated since a bootpd
process is created, but the Vectra fails by apparently timing out.
Any insights about "required parameters" in bootptab and other helpful
hints would be greatly appreciated.
System-> HP9000/835
Operating System-> HP-UX 7.0
Thanks in advance,
todd moore
