Hello all,

I see that Ubuntu mistakenly do that.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2202941 Sending
"host/machine_name" mistakenly then I see that it is achieved
NetworkManager but i am trying to figure out how can i do that on rhel
since rhel NetworkManager on RHEL6 uses at
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[main]
plugins=ifcfg-rh


which uses /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* script files.

Regards.
