ok so we both have solutions which parse out and reconfigure to accomidate
the change ... my only thought is that this is a commonly needed feature
that each admin shouldn't have to be writing, I expect scripts such as
these would be downloaded REGULARLY if they were posted at the samba web
site

people trying to find fixes for the dhcp IP changing such as myself and
search only to find the bootp dhcp patch are a little frustrated i imagine

1.9.18p10 & reguarding dhcpFix.tar.gz and the above
