Proposed fix for DHCP and hostname

2000-05-10 Thread Brooks Davis
Hi, There's a long standing issue where you can either have a hardwired hostname and have it all the time or you can get your hostname from DHCP and not have one unless you set it manualy while not networked. I have hacked up a solution which I think avoids POLA violations. My only concern
