Hi In your file /etc/dhcpd.conf did you set the following? group { use-host-decl-names on; host little-blaine { hardware ethernet 00:04:5A:63:0A:EB; fixed-address 192.168.1.101; } } good luck Claude andersn@isy.liu.se wrote:
Hi.
I want my linux clients to setup their host names from a dhcp server. The IP-numbers works fine but the host name is always set to "linux".
Using Yast2 I have in the "Host name and DNS" module checked the "Change host name via DHCP". This I believe sets the variable DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME=yes in the file /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp. But nothing seemingly takes notice of that since host name still is "linux".
The script /etc/init.d/boot.localnet sets host name to whatever is found in the file /etc/HOSTNAME, which currently is "linux.local". However I expected the DHCP setup to override this.
What am I missing here?
The clients are running SuSE 8.0.
