NAME
       bptojdb	-  Converts bootptab entries into permanent, static IP entries
       for JOIN databases.

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/bptojdb [-m  | -f] filename

OPTIONS
       Create client IDs for Microsoft DHCP clients.  Microsoft does  not  use
       the  client's MAC address by itself as the client identifier.  Instead,
       it prepends a 01 (Ethernet) to the MAC address and changes the hardware
       type  to	 0 (generic).  If the clients in your bootptab file are Micro‐
       soft clients, you will need to use the -m option.   Create  client  IDs
       for  FTP	 Software's  DHCP  clients.   FTP  Software  does  not use the
       client's MAC address by itself as the client identifier.	  Instead,  it
       creates	a  16-byte  client  identifier with the prefix “cid-”.	If the
       clients in your bootptab file are FTP Software DHCP clients,  you  will
       need to use the -f option.

DESCRIPTION
       The  bptojdb program reads entries in a standard bootptab file and cre‐
       ates permanent, static IP entries for the JOIN databases.  After	 read‐
       ing  the bootptab file, bptojdb displays to the standard output entries
       in a format suitable for the jdbmod utility. Each MAC  address  in  the
       bootptab	 file is given a static IP address with a permanent lease.  To
       store the information in the JOIN databases, run jdbmod with  the  con‐
       verted data. For example: bptojdb bootptab | jdbmod
