 A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
 directories. This draft is a work item of the Dynamic Host Configuration 
 Working Group of the IETF.                                                

       Title     : Authentication for DHCP Messages

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) [1] provides a framework for
passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network.  In some 
situations, network administrators may wish to constrain the allocation of 
addresses to authorized hosts.  Additionally, some network administrators 
may wish to provide for authentication of the source and contents of DHCP 
messages.  This document defines a new DHCP option through which 
authorization tickets can be easily generated and newly attached hosts with
proper authorization can be automatically configured from an authenticated 
DHCP server.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dhc-authentication-03.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
							
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
