Hi, Debian has a wishlist bug that the DHCP client would send the hostname by default.
The full conversation is at http://bugs.debian.org/151820 Ubuntu made a patch that implements the feature, it's at http://people.ubuntu.com/patches/dhcp3.client-send-hostname.patch My personal preference is for these sort of changes to be incorporated upstream, rather than having distro-specific behavioural changes to the DHCP software. Please consider this patch, and let us know what you think of it. Please maintain the Cc line on all correspondence so that our bug tracking system is kept in the loop. regards Andrew
