I prefer man pages to rambling Youtube videos. I checked it out, but it doesn't appear to answer my question. My /etc/hosts contains... 192.168.1.249 i3.waltdnes.org i3 192.168.1.250 i660.waltdnes.org i660 192.168.1.251 d531.waltdnes.org d531 192.168.1.2 thimk.waltdnes.org thimk 192.168.1.3 thimk3.waltdnes.org thimk3 Neighborhood Discovery Protocol will discover all machines on my local LAN. Questions... * which machine is which? * given that SLAAC and DHCPV6 assign random addresses how do I accomplish the equivalant of "scp <filename> i660:." I.e. how do I *CONSISTENTLY* match hostnames to IP addresses. And no, I don't want to have to "scp <filename> [1234:2345:3456:4567:5678:etc]:." -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
