I have a number of Linux and Mac clients that acquire network addresses via
DHCP. The backuppc server is able to identify clients without trouble using
nmblookup, and I back them up using SHH/rsync.
The problem occurs when the DHCP server changes the IP address of one of the
clients. Once this happens, the security key exchange that i did originally
with the client is no longer valid. As a result, subsequent backups fail.
What is the best way around this? I prefer to keep my clients using DHCP. Would
using a local Certificate Authority solve this problem? or is my best option to
have the DHCP server assign fixed IPs to the clients that need to be backed up
(i would prefer to avoid this if possible)?
Thanks for your thoughts!
Jon
