Bug#629060: update-hostname vs. network-manager
Package: debian-edu-config Version: SVN+r73284 Severity: important On Debian Edu workstations the update-hostname init script is executed before the network-manager init script. Optimal would be: start network-manager first, then update the system's hostname from DNS.

On a closer look I see that update-hostname also calls update-hostname- from-up so thats a bit saner. still I'm thinking whether the dhclient-exit-hook should be moved to /etc/network/if-down.d for consistency reasons? opinions? cheers, Holger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

[Holger Levsen] still I'm thinking whether the dhclient-exit-hook should be moved to /etc/network/if-down.d for consistency reasons? It is done in to dhclient-exit-hooks.d to ensure it is called alsof for those not using ifupdown, and only for those using DHCP (and not for static IP, which is expected to also have a fixed hostname set).

It is done in to dhclient-exit-hooks.d to ensure it is called alsof for those not using ifupdown ifupdown is the documented and standard interface. if you dont use it, you're supposed to be on your own. its used by network-manager, dhcp, wicd, etc - so its really only not used if you do things by hand.. , and only for those using DHCP (and not for static IP, which is expected to also have a fixed hostname set). so its useless and best to be removed, to keep things simple. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
