Using other servers is outside the scope of the script. If one wants to set up custom infra, it's quite possible, the script is just an example of how it works.

i just ran it with your info in mind it was a "coincidence" it all "fitted" my setup.

I understood that as you tried again, and it "fitted" = worked.

I totaly respect your definetion of the scope of the script but to me it seems dhcp and pxe is two features one should be able to run with out the other. Writing this i understand in my mindset im moving more towards a DHCP with PXE feature "wizard" script rather than a "Terminal Server".
I also totaly understand now that its a "program" to show the power of TCL and not really a part of TCL itself as a linux core :) and as such its great, with a few already mentioned changes, most importenly new syntakts for udhcp.conf

There is nothing stopping you from using alternate tools if you don't like the busybox tools that are included.
Personally, I use dnsmasq.

Sorry gerald i dont get it, can you single out an issue :/
I did not know busybox provides a dhcp server.
The tools and setup "terminal server" script uses really seems perfect to me and i was thinking of adopting the idea adding the the things i mentioned here. Im gonna write it from scratch though.
Im already working on similar cpanel invoked scripts for
mysql
apache
iptables
vsftpd
samba

The sudden need for a dhcp server and urge to try tcl pxe boot made me want a dhcp script too. All for my own distro as i do not such scripts my self. If you wanna you can see the unreleased and unorficial site here aoit.dk/aoit/acore.html

Im very interrested in sparing about dhcp tools as i have been using M$ dhcp all my life and know nothing else since i have only worked enterprises. Thats also why it did not come to me before one would want that in my distro :)

Hi ananix
If you enter  busybox  in a terminal, it will list what it provides.

i see... a udhcp server and client i never knew.. does all unix'ses have this in their "system tool box"? [ No it seems to be for embedded devices and then adopted by busybox due to the nature of it.]
it also makes me wonder why did i need to install dhcpd, like it made curaga wonder.... and i know understand why it made curaga wonder :)
