[NTLUG:Discuss] Parental advice...

You could use DHCP to push certain settings such as, DNS servers, routers,
static routes, etc., out to certain clients as an easier way to setup the
clients. The permissions thing still applies, of course.

It's all in here: http://linux.die.net/man/5/dhcpd.conf or by typing man
dhcp.conf at your firendly linux shell prompt.
