bptojdb(8)
NAME
  bptojdb - Converts bootptab entries into permanent, static IP entries for
  JOIN databases.

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

OPTIONS
  -m  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.

  -f  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
  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

FILES
  /var/join/*.hsh

  /var/join/*.btr
