I stopped doing it because many of our systems roam from network to network. If you want, I can throw in a flag that says, use ndb. --upas-huzkxxezjemqlzeogwxldjrdtt Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Received: from plan9.cs.bell-labs.com ([135.104.9.2]) by plan9; Wed Jun 25 16:37:22 EDT 2003 Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu ([130.203.4.6]) by plan9; Wed Jun 25 16:37:19 EDT 2003 Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.18.6]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 355E319B27; Wed, 25 Jun 2003 16:37:13 -0400 (EDT) Delivered-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Received: from galapagos.cse.psu.edu (galapagos.cse.psu.edu [130.203.12.17]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with SMTP id 0CC3119B27 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Wed, 25 Jun 2003 16:36:33 -0400 (EDT) Received: (qmail 12718 invoked by uid 991); 25 Jun 2003 20:36:32 -0000 Message-ID: <20030625203632.12717.qmail@g.bio.cse.psu.edu> From: "Scott Schwartz" To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Subject: [9fans] ipconfig dhcp vs ndb Sender: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu Errors-To: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu X-BeenThere: 9fans@cse.psu.edu X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.11 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu List-Id: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans.cse.psu.edu> List-Archive: Date: 25 Jun 2003 16:36:32 -0400 ipconfig doesn't seem to use ndb when configuring e.g. ethernet.
