The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network management protocol used on Internet Protocol (IP) networks for automatically assigning IP addresses and other communication parameters to devices connected to the network using a client–server architecture.
Across Unix-like operating systems many different configuration-file formats exist, with each application or service potentially having a unique format, but there is a strong tradition of them being in human-editable plain text, and a simple key–value pair format is common.
LCFG manages the configuration with a central description language in XML, specifying resources, aspects and profiles. Configuration is deployed using the client–server paradigm. Appropriate scripts on clients (called components) transcribe the resources into configuration files and restart services as needed. Open PC server integration
A server implementation of 9P for Unix, called u9fs, [2] [3] is included in the Plan 9 distribution. A 9P OS X client kernel extension is provided by Mac9P. [ 4 ] A kernel client driver implementing 9P with some extensions for Linux is part of the v9fs project. 9P and its derivatives have also found application in embedded environments, such as ...
The discovery process consists of four steps between the host computer which acts as the client and the access concentrator at the Internet service provider's end acts as the server. They are outlined below. The fifth and last step is the way to close an existing session.

The highest server in the hierarchy is sometimes called the origin server—the application server on which a given resource resides or is to be created ...
An attacker could contact any host and claim that they are a particular service the host regularly contacts, such as a file server. This could result in a middleperson attack against listening hosts, and ultimately in the compromise of credentials used by the listening hosts to access network services over NBT. Tools such as NBNSpoof can be ...
