Hola todos,

He publicado una versión preliminar de ISC DHCP v3.05 para OS/2 & eComStation en
http://download.smedley.info/dhcp-3.0.5-os2-preview1.zip

ISC's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Distribution proporciona una implmentación de referencia libremente distribuible de todos los aspectos de DHCP, a tráves de un conjunto de utilidades DHCP:

* Un servidor DHCP
* Un cliente DHCP
* Un 'relay agent' DHCP

Estas utilidades usan todas una API modular que está diseñada para ser suficientemente general para que pueda funcionar tanto en sistemas operativos POSIX y también en sistemas no POSIX como Winndows NT and MacOS.

The DHCP server, client and relay agent are provided both as reference implementations of the protocol and as working, fully-featured sample implementations. Both the client and the server provide functionality that, while not strictly required by the protocol, is very useful in practice.
The DHCP server also makes allowances for non-compliant clients which one might still like to support.

Current notes on the OS/2 build:
It is built with Innotek GCC 3.3.5 CSD1 and requires the libc061 runtime dll which is available from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.1-csd1.zip

**This has only had very limited testing so all feedback to paulDESPAM@DESPAMsmedley.info is appreciated**

To use the client, start dhclient.exe with parameters like the following:
ifconfig lan0 10.1.1.1 netmask 8.0.0.0
ifconfig lan0 alias 10.1.1.1 netmask 8.0.0.0
@dhclient -sf dhconf.cmd -e ETC=C:\MPTN\ETC lan0

dhconf.cmd is a rexx script that takes the parameters picked up by dhclient.exe and uses them to set the IP address and default routes.

Note that none of the tools have (yet) been educated to look in %etc% for configuration files, so dhcpd.exe needs to be expicitly told where its configuration files are, ie:
dhcpd.exe -f -d -cf dhcpd.conf -lf lease.f lan1

dhcpd currently gives some warnings about a lease file rename failing - these are under investigation.

Many thanks to Crazybonz for doing the initial port of DHCP v3.0.1, and to Yoda for encouraging me to do the dhcpd port and for testing!

Cheers,
