- Hi,
- I'm trying to provide bootp service to the PCs and Macs in
- my area. I have a standalone station. In the hostconfig file you have to
- set NETMASTER to -YES- to startup bootpd. But I *don't* want to be
- a netinfo configuration server, just bootp. Can this be done? When
- I *just* set NETMASTER to -YES- I get a 'cannot find parent domain' or
- some such in the console when a PC tries to get its IP address
- from bootp.
-
- Thanks!
