Hi,

if you setup MAC randomization via network manager in a debian 9
template as described here:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/anonymizing-your-mac-address/
you still leak your hostname.

Once your MAC address is randomized you might also want to prevent the
disclosure of your netvm's hostname to the network, since "sys-net"
might be a unique hostname (that links all your random MAC addresses and
the fact that you likely use qubes).

To prevent the hostname leak via DHCP option (12):
- start the debian 9 template
- open the file /etc/dhcpd/dhclient.conf
- in line number 15 you should see "send host-name = gethostname();"
- comment (add "#" at the beginning) or remove that line and store the file
- reboot your netvm

I tested the change via inspecting dhcp requests and can confirm that
the hostname is no longer included in dhcp requests.
