Re: How dhcp client can set its hostname properly on lease time
On Thu, Oct 07, 2010 at 09:37:52PM +0900, Mamoru Iwaki wrote: Now, my question is Are there good way for dhcp client to set its hostname properly on lease time? Depends on 'properly'. I've hacked dhclient exit scripts to synthesize a hostname, if one was not offered by the DHCP server. The host, under these circumstances, gets a hostname derived from the IP address and the supplied domain name, eg: '10-12-34-56.example.com'. This at least gets the box into a place where it has a hostname associated with the address on an external interface. No one else knows that hostname, however. YMMV. Cheers -- - Mamoru IWAKI Grad.
