Fedora Core 3: FEDORA-2006-071 Urgent: Bootparamd Patch

The bootparamd process provides bootparamd, a server process which

provides the information needed by diskless clients in order for them

to successfully boot. Bootparamd looks first in /etc/bootparams for an

entry for that particular client; if a local bootparams file doesn't

exist, it looks at the appropriate Network Information Service (NIS)

map. Some network boot loaders (notably Sun's) rely on special boot

server code on the server, in addition to the RARP and TFTP servers.

This bootparamd server process is compatible with SunOS bootparam clients

and servers which need that boot server code.

You should install bootparamd if you need to provide boot information to

diskless clients on your network.

- fix #144933 (bootparamd does not return the right line from /etc/bootparams)

- new parameter "-l" can exclude dns lookup during host search
