Ok, dumb question, but given that my /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-eth0.lease info shows that I'm clearly getting a hostname and domain name, why does "hostname" return localhost.localdomain (and "domainname" returns "(none)")? What do I need to enable to make this work?
Hostname will continue to return localhost.localdomain since, at the time the hostname command was used in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, that's what's in the /etc/sysconfig/network file on DHCP clients. You'd need to change the dhclient script to extract the given host name from the leases file and do a "hostname extracted-data" to change it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - They say when you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you'll hear - - Satanic messages, but if you play it forwards, it will install - - Windows...which means Satan is in your system. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
