This bit assumes that en0 is the interface being used by the server. You actually want to check each interface used by each of the IP addresses in config.BindAddresses. Anyone know how to lookup a MAC address in python? This looks potentially promising, but I can't grok it and it didn't work on my machine: http://rafb.net/p/LcL3wR37.html Seems like this should be doable without forking... -wsv On Jan 17, 2007, at 8:27 AM, source_changes@macosforge.org wrote:

I still think using ifconfig is feasible. Just do it without the interface parameter. That will list all interfaces, their status, bound IP and MAC address. We can do a better job of parsing to pick the one bound to the IP we are interested in. However, it is possible for a server to be bound to more than one, so which MAC to use in that case? Probably have to try all of them in queries against the directory and see which records come back. The alternative of course is to hard code the OD record name for the server in the config and not rely on MAC at all. I'm not sure what was up with that code - I do have C code that does exactly that in Mulberry. -- Cyrus Daboo

I think we want to do the MAC address lookup, I just figured that there should be a way to do it in Python instead of with a separate process. It's not a big deal, just a clean up item. -wsv
