Yeah, that's the workaround I'm currently using and it does work (set the desired string in Hostname=, leave the rest as defaults), however what Lennart suggested is more thorough as the actual hostname will be set to what I need and I won't be swapping or editing my .network files. In my case the hostname is partially based on the MAC of this fixed Ethernet interface so it's a safe bet to use udev to trigger settings things up. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
