I'm in the process of trying to hook up student labs to a few tcp-ip hosts we have here on campus. The problem that we have yet to conquer is the ability of students to mess up the configuration, which includes the IP address. With this even a curious student can change the terminals IP address to that of another device and render his terminal usless(which is better then the old days when grad students were locking up their professors sessions by using copies of the profs software. This of course really did help prevent site license abusses). RARP and BOOTP both look like great alternatives to writing an encypter decrytper TSR to filter our config.tel files(yes, we're using NCSA). I've seen mention of a set of source code files for bootp servers running under UNIX. If anyone could give me any information on where to find these source items, for either protocal, I would be very grateful. Shawn Masters smasters@gmuvax2.gmu.edu

Sources for generic bootpd are available at lancaster.andrew.cmu.edu. Works fine. Clarkson version of NCSA Telnet has a LPD which contains also a bootpd. > >Shawn Masters >smasters@gmuvax2.gmu.edu Seppo Syrjanen syrjanen@cc.helsinki.fi
