Package: ltsp-client Version: 5.1.5-1 Severity: wishlist At the moment in Etch, all the LTSP clients will have the same hostname 'ltsp'. This make reports generated by sitesummary almost useless for LTSP clients. In Lenny, I was told by Vagrant it would look up the name in DNS, and use the reverse DNS lookup to set a hostname. I do the same in Etch using a script included in debian-edu-config. But, on a fairly large site the reverse DNS entries are missing, and thus a lot of clients end up with the common and useless 'ltsp' hostname.
I propose to generate a unique hostname for these hosts based on their network MAC address of the client, like "ltsp-00:00:00:00:00:00". It would make it fairly easy to recognize which client was running at a given moment in time when no reverse DNS lookup is available.
