to discern if that's where the difference is, or if there's just
a subtle bug in the version of dhclient included with FreeBSD 5.1
I want to use dynamic hostname assignment so that my hostname will have
valid reverse DNS.
Like I said before, you might want to look around in redhat's dhcp
scripts

The standard dhclient-script sets the hostname. At least, it sure
*looks* like it does... [line 97 of
src/contrib/isc-dhcp/client/scripts/freebsd,v 1.9.2.6]
OK, yeah, it does, so there must be some other configuration that needs to

I was puzzled by this at first, since RedHat and FreeBSD both use
dhclient (AFAIK), and I spent a few hours looking

/etc/dhclient.conf should do what you want:
send host-name yourhostname;
