Hi Jan,
I saw this post on caiman-discuss and I think I'm having the problem described.
I need to restrict my 2 available
DHCP addresses to my sparc clients in a heterogeneous environment. Can I do
this now with dhtadm? I was unable to
do it with dhcpmgr. I get "There is no hosts table entry with this name, the
DHCP network table was not updated."
Can you provide me with an example dhtadm command line macro that would
restrict my DHCP addresses to sparc clients?
Initial DHCP setup was done with installadm.
Here's info on my AI server:

ID 0100144F97A180 above is one of my sparc clients. ID 0100144F866603 is a
non-sparc client that grabbed the other available
address.
I'm a "newbie" to DHCP server management and caiman-discuss.
Thank you,
