       bptojdb - Converts bootptab entries into permanent, static
       IP entries for JOIN databases.

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /usr/sbin/bptojdb [-m  | -f] filename

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Create client IDs for Microsoft DHCP  clients.   Microsoft
       does  not  use  the  client's MAC address by itself as the
       client identifier.  Instead, it prepends a  01  (Ethernet)
       to  the  MAC  address  and  changes the hardware type to 0
       (generic).  If the  clients  in  your  bootptab  file  are
       Microsoft  clients,  you  will  need to use the -m option.
       Create client IDs for FTP Software's  DHCP  clients.   FTP
       Software  does  not use the client's MAC address by itself
       as the client identifier.  Instead, it creates  a  16-byte
       client  identifier with the prefix "cid-".  If the clients
       in your bootptab file are FTP Software DHCP  clients,  you
       will need to use the -f option.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  bptojdb  program reads entries in a standard bootptab
       file and creates permanent, static IP entries for the JOIN
       databases.   After reading the bootptab file, bptojdb displays
 to the standard output entries in a format  suitable
       for  the  jdbmod utility. Each MAC address in the bootptab
       file is given a static IP address with a permanent  lease.
       To store the information in the JOIN databases, run jdbmod
       with the converted data. For example: bptojdb  bootptab  |
       jdbmod
