dynagen [ -usage | -help ][ -ip_basename basename for next DHCP lease node ][ -ip_base_address basal I.P. address for DHCP leases ][ -ip_addresses start address for DHCP lease block number of addresses in DHCP lease block ] > <dynamically allocated hostname block> >& <log file>

 

DESCRIPTION

dynagen(1) is normally invoked by the P3M install script, install_pups_services(1) to generate a block of DHCP leased nodenames. These are inserted into the /etc/hosts file by install_pups_services(1)

 

OPTIONS

-usage | -help display help and copyright information for the dynagen(1) filter.

-ip_basename specifies the basename for DHCP lease block. Defaults to dyna

ip_base_address specifies the start address for DHCP lease block. This is an incomplete address, for example 192.168.1 is correct, but a full I.P. address (e.g. 192.168.1.1) is not. Defaults to 192.168.1

-ip_addresses specifies the start address in DHCP lease block and the number of addresses in the DHCP lease block. Both of these default to 100.

 

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

None.

 

BUGS

Not a bug, but it would be better if DHCP lease information was extracted from /etc/dhcpd.conf
