    What is the best way to setup permanent DHCP IP assignments based on MAC address? OSXS doesn’t seem to support this from the GUI, but I couldn’t find a way to do this in the conf files either – bootpd seems to read its configuration directly from NetInfo. It seems to me that this is a major functionality that Apple has left out of OSXS. Is there an easy way to do this?

    I’m running OSXS 10.2. (But if a method exists in Panther server, I can upgrade.)

    Thanks for all help in advance.

    You need to add MAC/IP entries to the “machines” section of NetInfo.

    Anyway to do this from the command line ( ie, from shell scripts )? Using niload, I guess?
