Hi,
Thanks everyone for giving me useful reply.
Now, my stupid problem has been solved by setting 'get-lease-hostnames
true;' in dhcpd.conf file.
Cheers

Hi,
I'm using FreeBSD 8 stable as of 20101006. It is a dhcp client in a
private local network, and xorg staff is installed. When I tried to use
it from a remote pc with X11-forwarding set, xauth failed to set up
.Xauthority as follows.
/usr/local/bin/xauth: creating new authority file /home/hogehoge/.Xauthority
/usr/local/bin/xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name "unix:10.0" in
"remove" command
/usr/local/bin/xauth: (stdin):2: bad display name "unix:10.0" in "add"
command
At this moment, hostname was not set (it's empty) because the FreeBSD
box was a dhcp client. Meanwhile, if the hostname coresponding to the
ip-address assigned by dhcp server was set manually, the above lines
disappeared and X11-forwarding worked well.
Now, my question is
Are there good way for dhcp client to set its hostname properly on lease
time?
The following will be a possble workaround, but I'm wondering there can
be a smart answer in FreeBSD itself.
It is possible to resolve the hostname corresponding to a dhcp-delivered
ip-address with a local name server. So, (1) resolve the corresponding
hostname from the local name server, (2) set it as hostname, and (3)
call them every time when dhcp lease is updated
