Ok, dumb question, but given that my
/var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-eth0.lease info shows that I'm clearly
getting a hostname and domain name, why does "hostname" return
localhost.localdomain (and "domainname" returns "(none)")?
What do I need to enable to make this work?
Hostname will continue to return localhost.localdomain since, at the
time the hostname command was used in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, that's
what's in the /etc/sysconfig/network file on DHCP clients.
You'd need to change the dhclient script to extract the given host name
from the leases file and do a "hostname extracted-data" to change it.
