There are I think a couple of DHCPDs which were written from scratch rather than adapting the CMU bootpd. The pointers to those should be in the DHCP FAQ. I believe there are even RPMs ready to install. >I've taken a look at CMU's bootpd and tried to port it over to Win32 >but it seems bootpd is *more* involved that tftpd. tftpd seems very >straight forward to implement. But since Windows NT already has >DHCP i wouldn't mind trying out the DHCP server. Why not look at the DHCP FAQ to see if somebody has already done the work?
