the 015 structure in DHCP, tells the client the name of the domain that it belongs to. My boxes are portable (client's locations and lug meetings), when I connect into a local network - my box should appear as a member of the network - down to the domain name, which the 015 tells it about. Then entering a "joe" will be expanded to "joe.domain.org" and ping and the rest of tcp/ip tools work right.
006 tells where the dns is. The same goes here the resolve.conf is not being updated.
IP and Netmask do not get updated in the hosts file.
And lastly Samba is a problem, since it correctly connects to wins, if it is on the network the 044 tells the story here.
This all need to work correctly if a linux be givne a full chance to replace large number of boxes in a windows base network.
redhat 6.2 hack: (allowed box to connect any DHCP server and get most right. Still have to do a sed on samba.conf)

OLDDOMAIN=$(domainname)

The DHCPCD client is not that good. It does not handle passing host name as configured - hence you immedatily have to fix that so it acts right in a windows network (like most offices). It does not handle at all: domain name changes, ip changes nor fixing samba to be a good M$ citizen.
DHCP is one of those things need to fixed so more offices will feel "safe" bring into the their network.
Just so you know - I am using DHCPCD on 4 different linux boxes with either redhat6.2 or caldera 2.3. I have had to hack the DHCPCD client everytime.
All files are truely "flat" files. That goes for programs, the kernal, and databases. It is a handle to data stream.
What most think of as a flat files is "data" structure (or something on that line depending on OS).
XML is has structure that was imposed over that that flat file structure. That makes it no more a flat file then HTML another example of strucute that was imposed over a flat file structure.
Linux is a Herculean task taken on by multiple teams to create. Now this is a way to bring it up to par with other OS for easy of configuring.
Yes, all will not convert. But the majority will follow the kernel if the kernel goes first. Teams that don't bring their code up to the standard will slowly loss out. The best (or most willing) will win out.
How is the kernal made?
How are the options stored?
How are run time options passed?
Can you add to the list?
The kernel is a series of routines - sorting, searching, processing data. Like any other program, just happens to "run" the machine.
Why is the kernel exempt from the same standards we would want from the rest of the machine? If the kernel was configured via XML, the rest of linux would follow the lead.
Stop using flat files for.conf, Use XML as standard configuration format. This includes the make tools, lilo, and the rc.d as well.
With this grand unification:
1) XML parser API could be added so all modules will not have to create thier own.
2) A single config tool could be written so that the options and help information can be entered and checked. Lowering the entry skill level for general users.
Anothe wish is to get the/etc back. Move the conf data for a/.conf directory or some thing.
.un is there because of the base problem of when the web was created.
.com.edu.gov.org where created when the web we know today was still an excludive network centered in the US.
today the web is not a US owned and operated network. It is time to leave that paradyne and move on.
by mapping the.com.edu.gov.org back to the US for which they came, opens up the naming tree.
First, Non US companys will register in their own countries, which shortens the branches in the.com and frees up space. Second for LARGE International Corps - IBM, TRW, COKE they can now register TLD for after themself.
This would allow for true international companies to have themself as their base - protecting their trademark or indentity in all countries. Regional companies and people can have regional. and soon.
Now wheater.gov should be used for the UN is the goverment of Earth will be hot debated, under a different/. thread.
Well think about it. If someone has 1800Flowers.com trademarked do you think a FTD can have 1800flowers.biz?
The new TLD do not add any new name space. Browsers like IE will try the www..com for you, blocking the space from being easily found. So why a new space?
The only real solution is to drop.com,.net,.org &.gov. by mapping back to.us space. Then allowing those that at truely belong some where else like.com.ca to move there with money returned. Then if IBM or COKE want the.IBM or.COKE tld then they can pay for it.
Remember trademarks and public confusion will block most all.biz from getting or keeping their URL.
Oh and you think the have a few million tld is going to be hard on the main servers... Think again. With the explosion of.com - in effect we already have it.
For all the winners there are losers. Remember you don't win unless there is some one out the BUYing the stock from you. Or maybe two or three or four (depends on how high).

Is the stock market the next Social Security scare?
Remember to retire with those 401k - the stock needs to be sold to some one. Who will be buying when the first 1/4 of the bady boom goes by, the second 1/4, the third and fourth?
I was reading that if Microsoft had to report the outstanding liability of stock options on thier balance sheet (better: deffered companision) Since MS is to pay the difference between the option and the going price. they would be setting at a net LOST for last year.
When I was a member of INET list (a long time ago) I propose to drop the.com,.org,.net,.gov because it is all too U.S. baised.
Now if the million(s?) of domains out there under.com --.com is pretty useless in shorting the search. Hell how offen do you find a business by it URL anyway 1 in 10, 1 in 50, 1 in 100?.
So dump it all.
Yahoo, Lycos, and the rest are the real name engines.
If you want keep the naming convention here is simple plan...
.coke,.ibm --> go to U.N. Telecom and buy it there say $50k - helps pay for U.N. This way trademarks world wide WILL BE RESPECTED.
.USSteel.us, swatch.ch --> go to that country's office to get it. -- say $5k for country wide - again country wide trademark is respected.
.waltdisneyworld.fl.us --> go to the state's office to get it. -- say $500 - now state wide trade marks are respected.
.bulls.chicago.il.us --> go to city or county office $50 and local trade names are respected.
Now if you are growing company - you just keep bying up the tree.
So IBM may buy.ibm.rochester.mi.us,.ibm.mi.us,.ibm.us,.ibm

If Company A is making a widget and told you about it after a NDA. Then you work for company B and one of their employees on your team comes up with a widget idea after you have were hired 1 week before.
CAN YOU PROVE IN A COURT OF LAW THAT,
1) YOU DID NOT TELL?
2) ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU HAD HEARD AT COMPANY A DID NOT HELP IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF WIDGET?
I am waiting to see on an employment app. right under "are you a felon?", "List all the NDA, you have signed and detail what you can and can not talk about?".
A contract is only valid if:
1) Both parties agreeing to the terms, without coercion.
2) A exchange of tangible property. (i.e.: money)
That is why a company has problems with getting a NDA signed after you already have job with them. First, they can not fire you for not signing that would be coercion. Second, they would have to give you some thing in exchange, a raise.
A Company can not get you to sign a NDA when you leave... What you can not leave until you sign? Again coercion and property exchange is required to have a contract.
So remember if asked to sign a NDA, be sure your price is set high enough to cover the time that NDA is in effect and you can not work at a competing company.
