Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] Hostname assignment
The issue is that thin clients with IP's outside
the range
declared with host blabla in dhcpd.conf do not get
assigned a
hostname. It's just blank.
What can we do to get every tc assigned a
hostname, regardless of
static address or not?
Do you have a
use-host-decl-names on;
in the right scope? Without this statement the dhcp
server does not tell the client its hostname.
We are running ISC's V3.0pl1 dhcpd, and the following is my
dhcpd.conf section that returns a hostname to the client:
group ltsp-pxe-ws {
use-host-decl-names on;
option log-servers 192.168.6.19;
next-server 192.168.6.19;
filename "pxelinux.0";
option vendor-encapsulated-options 09:0f:80:00:0c:4e:65:
74:77:6f:72:6b:20:62:6f:6f:74:0a:07:00:50:72:6f:6d:70:74:06:01:
02:08:03:80:00:00:47:04:80:00:00:00:ff;
host ws001z6 {
hardware ethernet 00:08:c7:fc:27:58;
fixed-address ws001z6;
option host-name "ws001z6";
}
}
My dhcpd is running on a different box from the tftpd server, which
is on a different box than any of my nfs mounts, which is a different
box than my named server. For some reason (since I'm not a dhcpd guru)
if I don't include the 'option host-name', then the client is assigned
the same name as my default 'option host-name'. That is, for a
definition:
host ws001z6{
hardware ethernet 00:08:c7:fc:27:58;
fixed-address ws001z6;
}
"ws001z6" is not passed in my scenario. Is it because I've included
an option host-name that has global scope?
Anyways, perhaps you have a similar setup.
Regards... Tim
