HPers -

I run the HPUX bootpd, a combination of bootp and dhcp server, on
two of my HPUX machines here (using different dhcptab files for
each). As far as I can tell, the servers run OK, but there is a
lack of logging and monitoring available for the server, especially
when I suspect a problem (ie, a dhcp client can't get an address).

So, I've been trying some things on my own, but thought I would
ask the group if anyone has addressed this issue before. Ideally,
I would be looking for a script/program that shows each request
that is received by the server, and how it was handled (ie, either
by the bootptab, the dhcptab, or neither), and of course, the
IP address assigned, etc.

Anyone done or seen anything like this ?

TIA -

John

You could use tcpdump and filter on the bootp service.
