Jari,
The resolver libraries are included in the ltsp_local_apps package.
THey typically aren't needed, unless you are running local
applications.
As for the blank hostname. That's likely because you are
missing a line in your dhcpd.conf file.
Make sure you have this:
use-host-decl-names on;
If you don't have that, then dhcpd won't send the hostname
back to the workstation.
Another problem could be caused if you are dynamically
assigning an address from a pool of addresses. I haven't
figured out how to get dhcpd to pass back a hostname for
those yet.
