Greg, I installed rc2 last night, and there are two issues I see so far 1)No way to set DHCP_HOSTNAME in /etc/syconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth? except manually. 2)HOSTNAME is not set in /etc/sysconfig/network IMHO, HOSTNAME should be set there if the user entered a zeroconf hostname, and drakconnect should have a dialog something like "This network interface requires a hostname to be sent with the DHCP request" with a field to enter a name there, which goes in DHCP_HOSTNAME in /etc/syconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth?. This bug screws up the winbind setup (thankfully we do not yet advertise the ability for a non-domain-admin to join a machine to the domain, but it worked in 9.0, see http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/samba/Integrating%20Linux%20into%20Windows%20Networks.tar.gz ) Regards, Buchan - -- |--------------Another happy Mandrake Club member--------------| Buchan Milne Mechanical Engineer, Network Manager Cellphone * Work +27 82 472 2231 * +27 21 8828820x121 Stellenbosch Automotive Engineering http://www.cae.co.za GPG Key http://ranger.dnsalias.com/bgmilne.asc 1024D/60D204A7 2919 E232 5610 A038 87B1 72D6 AC92 BA50 60D2 04A7 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE+aIJgrJK6UGDSBKcRAssjAKC29k2sfbPHpnZ0g3vCfwj9tZ9WkgCgwRMR 7+nhGavEZrJK2xyLNLRfcMQ= =SyKh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
