Am I missing something? Have you tried disabling the DHCP server altogether and using one of your linux boxes as DHCP server? Then you can use all facilities of dhcpd. Additionally, you can make that box your nameserver (using bind) as well. That would solve both of your problems at the same time.

I happened to know the source code for uniq and it should filter
repeated lines. By repeated lines, do you mean consecutive repeated
lines or separated by other lines? Uniq only filters consecutive
repeated lines, e.g.
A
A
B
A
will become
A
B
A
If you need it to filter such that only 1 unique line remains, you
will need to sort first then pipe to uniq (not a good solution for
really large files).

Hmm, yeah, I checked the original file again, there's no sender field but there's resent-* that you mentioned. Seems like gmail is handling them properly.

I'm not sure how the admins implemented that, but from my own experience, usually only one DHCP server is active at any one time. The other DHCP server will act as a failover in case the main server fails. So usually having 2 DHCP servers are not a problem (most of the time, only the primary server will be answering DHCPREQUEST).

Allowing users to mount external drive/thumbdrive
Hi, I've just reinstalled a windows computer with debian today. While I can add an entry to fstab to allow user to be able to mount an external drive, it won't allow flexible usage of external drive/thumbdrive. I realized that Ubuntu allows users to plug just about anything and have it automatically mounted. Can I do the same in Debian? That means, allowing user to plug a thumbdrive or external drive and let the computer do the rest. Btw, one of the external drive was formatted with NTFS and HFS+. While Debian can autodetect NTFS partition, it seems that it fails to autodetect HFS+ partition (manual mount with -t hfsplus works though). Thanks for the help.

You can't guarantee what IP address you'll receive with DHCP. If you
wanted to ensure static ip on your host, you should the following
lines to dhcpd.conf on the DHCP servers (if it is a linux/UNIX-based
dhcpd):
host {
hardware ethernet ;
fixed-address ;
}
That will ensure that your host (identified with MAC address) will
receive the same IP.
Does that helps? Or you have other intentions?

But anyway, if you're looking for the -dev version of libpcre, it should be libpcre3-dev.

None of them works. I think you also need to add a route to your VM through the physical IP address of the Windows PC. The problem is VMware usually introduces NAT for the VM. Your Linux box will not be able to find a route to this PC. You can try this: # route add -host gw If you prefer, you can add the whole VMware network, replace `-host ` with `-net netmask `.

Looking from your post, you can mount /dev/sda and not /dev/sda1, your fstab on the other hand only gives normal permission to mount /dev/sda and not /dev/sda1.
