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
