[gPXE] Configuration of dhcpd

[Bjoern Wuest]

Hi Josh,


thank you for the right root path. Unforunately I do not know how to configure this in LDAP.

Actually my network is not so big that it would require to run LDAP. Yet, it has the advantage to use the same user basis across my family's computers. Furthermore, my son require LDAP for his development activities. Also, it permits me to train for my job where I am not able to operate a test environment to play around with LDAP.


Regards
  Bjoern
