can SAMBA assign win98 Hostnames?

[Torsten Kalix]

Hello!

Yes there is a tool that updates the nameserver whenever a new dhcp-lease
is given out.
Download the latest versions of bind and dhcp form www.isc.org   The
dhcp-server should be
able to use bootp (= assign ip adresses with a lot of other parameters like
hostname for the
machine, dns, wins-server etc etc). The dns-server can be updated
automatically as well.


Hope this helps,
