u could set dhcp to give out a fixed address dependant on a mac address, this would stop just anybody plugging a box into a network, if your network is physically secure then thats not a worry. (a cat5 jack in reception or some other public place is dodgy)
Otherwise dhcp makes life easier...its the only way to manage a decent sized network. :) Steven -----Original Message----- From: Stewart James [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 29 October 2002 12:03 To: debian-security@lists.debian.org Subject: DHCP I was hoping someone could help me out here. Currently I am still on a netowrk using static IP configurationon each machine, we are finally moving towards DHCP. Are there any security considerations to be made to ensure there is no gapping security hole. the various howto's I have seen don;t seem to have a clear "Security" section and I havent seen it mentioned in any of the faq's Thanks for any assistance, Stewart James -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
