[SLE] Dhclient and dynamic Hostname
Hello, I have installed Dhclient with Suse 6.3. I succeeds to retrieve a dynamic IP-address, domain-name and domain-name-servers. But it doesn't retrieve any of host-name nis-domain nis-servers Is Dhclient supposed to yield this info? Does Dhclient expect the host-name directly from the Dhcpd? Can't it retrieve the host-name from Dns or Nis once it knows it's IP-address? Has somebody running Dhcpcd on Suse setting up the hostname dynamically? -Hanspeter -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
Here we go again. Dump dhclient and get dhcpcd from rufus.w3.org You will have joy then. dhclient is lame. Hanspeter Roth Bsag wrote:

What version of dhcpcd is the latest and most stable? dhcpcd-1.3.17p4-0 RPM for i386 or dhcpcd-1.3.17p4-1col RPM for i386 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Is Dhcpcd `compatible' with Yast/rc.config? Or do I have to forget Yast after installing Dhcpcd? Has anybody an idea why Suse chose Dhclient rather than Dhcpcd? -Hanspeter -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Basically, dhcpcd is not compatible with Yast/rc.config. But you can change it all by editing /etc/rc.d/dhclient to invoke /sbin/dhcpcd (or whatever it would be called after installed on your system) instead of the "default" dhcp client during the boot procedures...

From previous discussions, you could also try to invoke dhcpcd directly from /etc/rc/d/boot.local. Didn't work for me though.... <-] <-]Has anybody an idea why Suse chose Dhclient rather than Dhcpcd? Well, that's what we've been wondering for months now.... who knows?? But they've probably been advised of this problem. ciao ________________ Nicolas Beaulieu Economics Department, Universite Laval Centre de Recherches en Economie et Finances Appliquees (CREFA) Quebec, Canada 418-626-5033 _________________ http://www.penguinpowered.com/~montesquieu montesquieu@penguinpowered.com ICQ 15933500 ---> http://www.ccfa.org <--- ---> http://www.ccfc.ca <--- _________________ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

I got dhcpcd-1.3.17pl5-2.i386.rpm from Redhat and http://www.phystech.com/download/dhcpcd-1.3.18-pl3.tar.gz. Is there a specific one on rufus.w3.org which is to be preferred for Suse 6.3?
<-]> <-]> You will have joy then.
I managed to build and run the one from Phystech. It put the Nisdomain into /etc/resolv.conf. (The Mandrake version dosen't do this.) It runs now with -H -R. But it still doesn't set the hostname! Are there some more considarations to run Dhcpcd on Suse 6.3? [...]

These are 63, 68 and 79 in my /etc/rc.d/dhclient.
You shouldn't have any problem with the dhcp client anymore.... From previous discussions, you could also try to invoke dhcpcd directly from /etc/rc/d/boot.local. Didn't work for me though....
I think the /etc/rc.d/dhclient patch is better since it allows `init 1'. -Hanspeter <HR> <UL> <LI>text/plain attachment: hclient_ </UL> -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

The stock conf file asks for hostname. Just check /etc/dhclient.conf.
