Well, I didn't *try* it, I just read through dhclient-script. I'll try to take a closer look. > Thanks very much for the help (any other ideas?), You could always just create you *own* script (using the dhclient-exit-hooks script, ideally) which sets hostname on the new name unconditionally. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
