Hi all, I hope this is an acceptable list to ask this...
Im a Windows guy by trade, however recently have been gradually switching our servers from Microsoft to Debian. Ooh I love apt-get :o). So does my now useful old Pentium 233! Anyway, as part of this I wanted to find a way to remotely manage a DHCP configuration file, in an automated fashion. When we add a new customer to a portion of our network, depending upon circumstances we set up some DHCP configurations for them. At the moment, I do this manually, but I would like to be able to have it happen automatically when I add the customer to the Network Management app (which is web based). All I need to do, is find a way to securely connect to the Debian system (from a windows server at this stage, the programmer isn't confident to work in a deb environment) and load, modify and save the dhcp.conf file. Better is be able to restart DHCP afterwards. Can anyone point me in the right direction for how I might go about achieving this? The box is pretty secure, and relies on SSH for remote administration. Access, as I said, would be an automated process from a Windows based system. Im thinking (and please, remember im a newbie!) that I should use a process that grabs the file, changes it, and replaces the old file, and use a cron job to enact the changes on the hour. Any better ways? Realtime updating of the DHCP configuration would be ideal. Regards, Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
