This might be easier in the latest Slackware (3.3) distribution as well, but otherwise:<br />
<br />
Get the &quot;netcfg&quot; package from the RedHat 4.2 distribution (or just switch to RH 4.2 to upgrade everything at once). &nbsp;It will let you configure DHCP on a per-interface basis via a Tcl/Tk requester under X. &nbsp;It's very simple to use, and does track the PID of each DHCP handler as it goes.<br />

This isn't necessarily a rejection, maybe just my confusion.<br />
My understanding is that TCL by default handles devices directly so they are not available to other processes, such as the router. &nbsp;Does this program instert itself in the streams process?<br />

We have a router with five NICs, four to our lan, one to the INET. &nbsp;My understanding is that under Slackware 2.0.31 the DHCP client can talk directly to a raw interface and that the server remembers wich process ID sent the DCHP request so that it can respond to the correct ID, thus allowing a separate set of rules to be run for each interface and not requiring a DHCP server on each net by itself. &nbsp;Does anyone have any info about how to install and configure?

DHCP to 4 NICS

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
