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".
Does your DHCP server SEND a hostname to the clients. dhclient can't set the hostname unless it is actually sent. -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
