changes to /etc/bootpd.plist reverted on 10.6

[blake]

I’m trying to setup a bootpd proxy with a 10.6.2 Server system. Any changes I make to /etc/bootpd.plist are lost after a minute or so. It appears that bootpd is clearing any changes.

How should I go about making these changes permanent?

Thanks,

Yep netboot relay is the goal.

Ok got a little help from our apple SE on this one..
Turns out the syntax I was using to modify the /etc/bootpd.plist was wrong (not surprised). The servermgrd attempted to verify the contents of the bootpd.plist and decided they where invalid. It then renamed the file to /etc/bootpd.plist-corrupted and created a new /etc/bootpd.plist from scratch (big surprise).

Here is the code I ended up getting to work.

	<key>relay_enabled</key>
	<true/>
	<key>relay_ip_list</key>
	<array>
		<string>10.0.0.2</string>
	</array>

So if you are hacking up config files and the changes are flushed check for a -corrupted version of the file.
