Depends on 'properly'. I've hacked dhclient exit scripts to synthesize a hostname, if one was not offered by the DHCP server. The host, under these circumstances, gets a hostname derived from the IP address and the supplied domain name, eg: '10-12-34-56.example.com'. This at least gets the box into a place where it has a hostname associated with the address on an external interface. No one else knows that hostname, however. YMMV. > > Cheers > > -- > ----- > Mamoru IWAKI > Grad. Schl. Sci & Tech./Dept.
