Hello Frds
i have a question abt DHCP server,
I have configured DHCP SERVER , it is able to give ip- addresses dynamically, but my pb is that i want to give name to my clients dynamically by using DHCP SERVER.
if suppose your DHCP server assign ip-address to a client as 192.168.2.183 , but i want to assign name to a this client dynamically as ws183 means:
if it assign ip to some client like 192.168.2.34, then i also want to give name dynamically as ws34
mens i want to append ws to last octet of ip-address, how can i give names like this dynamically,
CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLZZZ.............

this can't be described here.. better look for a good tutorial for BIND

If u intend to do locally without a dns. Read along:
So if u want to do that, i can suggest u to go to :
http://www.ltsp.org
See how to configure dhcp server. I outline here the things u need to do:
1, Edit ur "dhcpd.conf" file
2. Edit ur "hosts" file.
3. Edit ur "resolv.conf" file (Normally u can omit this if
u have a hostname for u pc set previously other
than localhost.localdomain)
Read the ltsp documentation.

well.. I think you are saying that how to assign fix info for a specific client on the network using dhcp !!
Say you want to assign ip address 192.168.1.23 to tthe client with mac address of 00:A1:DD:74:C3:F2 .
To do so.. you first have a gobal option specifying the domain for whole network , include following line changing to name you want in begining of your dhcpd.conf .
option domain-name "yourdomain.com";
Now say you want to assign some name like computerA then it will look like computerA.yourdomain.com .
To do so add following
host computerA
{
option host-name "computerA.yourdomain.com";
hardware ethernet 00:A1:DD:74:C3:F2;
fixed-address 192.168.1.23;
}

No dear
You can't understand what i am saying,
Actually suppose my dhcp server give ip-address to some client as 192.168.2.183 but i want to give dynamic name to this clients as 'ws183' means last octet that is 183 append to ws ,so it becomes ' ws183'. This is only for one computer , suppose i have 10 computers in my network & my DHCP server give ip-address to these computers as 192.168.2.183, 192.168.2.184,........
& i want to give name to client that has ip as 192.168.2.183 as ws183, to client that has ip as 192.168.2.184 as ws184. THAT MEANS last octet of ip-address is append with ws .
SO do u know where to give this entry or u know any shell script for this ?
IF U KNOW PLEASE TELL ME? I NEED IT URGENT
THXX IN ADVANCE
BYE

THXXXXX RICKY
YOUR CONFIGURATION WORKS,THANKS A LOT
BUT IF I HAVE LARGE NO OF COMPUTERS IN N/W AND I WANT TO GIVE NAME TO ALL OF THEM DYNAMICALLY ,THEN I HAVE TO MAKE ENTRY FOR EACH CLIENT IN dhcpd.conf FILE.
