I seem to be unable to register my hostname when using dhcp + NM.
I notice in /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf:
send host-name "nbecker4"; # temporary RHL ifup addition
But I want this also in /etc/dhclient-eth2.conf, which is just blank. Who
is writing this file, and how can I add this entry (so it will persist?)
Actually, you want to move upstream to the configuration files that
determine the host name. I'm using:
[dave@spindle ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=no
HOSTNAME=spindle.local.davenjudy.org
and:
[dave@spindle ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
# Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller
DEVICE=eth1
ONBOOT=no
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
PEERDNS=yes
DHCP_HOSTNAME=spindle
TYPE=Wireless
USERCTL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
This seems to work. NM reads these files in order to determine what to
send on a DHCP request.
Cheers,
Dave
