Anyone know how to set the hostname under dhcp? I have dhcp-client [2.0pl4-2] debian 2.2 - potato [patched to date] kernel [2.2.19] I establish a lease with dhclient with the following config file, i.e., [/etc/dhclient.conf] ---------------- send host-name "peregrine.cox-internet.com"; lease { interface "eth0"; option host-name "peregrine.cox-internet.com"; } ----------------
I have used several combinations in the above config file including setting the hostname and domain names separately. I don't find an error message from dhclient; however, the hostname assigned by DNS, i.e., from nslookup on the ip address, is not `peregrine' but some combination of letter, numbers and dashes. I found several messages in the Debian Mailing List Archives that may be useful but it appears there is a problem with the database. I get the following message when I attempt to read one of the messages: "The requested URL /www/debian-user/2001/debian-user-200107/msg02249.html was not found on this server." -- Carl Greco [EMAIL PROTECTED]
