I have now installed bacula 1.38.5 on my Fedore 3 and it is working beautifully backing up only this linux system. My next step is to add the back-up of two windows systems (a W2K and an XP). The three boxes are connected on a LAN through a wireless router which provides the IP-addresses dynamically via dhcp.

In bacula user's manual (page 96) I read: "The second change was to add a new Client resource that defines matou-fd and has the correct address, but in real life, you may need a fully qualified machine address or an IP address."

I assume it should read: "... but in real life, you will need ...". Well since IP addresses are generated by dhcp I won't be able to code the IP addresses, so I will have to use the socalled machine address. What is it? Is it a MAC address? Or something else?
