Removing the file /etc/hostname makes dhclient accept the host-name option. However, the desktop background turns blue and no desktop icons can be seen. After 10 to 20 seconds the background image is restored and the desktop icons are available again.
** Description changed: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: isc-dhcp 4.1-ESV-R4-0ubuntu5 My dhcp-server is supposed to provide the host-name for the clients. I am using the standard /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf which requests the host- name (commentaries omitted): option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8; send host-name "<hostname>"; request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, - domain-name, domain-name-servers, domain-search, host-name, - netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu, - rfc3442-classless-static-routes, ntp-servers, - dhcp6.domain-search, dhcp6.fqdn, - dhcp6.name-servers, dhcp6.sntp-servers; + domain-name, domain-name-servers, domain-search, host-name, + netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu, + rfc3442-classless-static-routes, ntp-servers, + dhcp6.domain-search, dhcp6.fqdn, + dhcp6.name-servers, dhcp6.sntp-servers; When reconnecting to the network the client requests the host-name and the server answers correctly (tested with Wireshark). However, when using the hostname command the client still issues the local host-name given in /etc/hostname. - - Looks like Bug #537978 for dhcp3 again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1009396 Title: dhcp-client does not use host-name option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/isc-dhcp/+bug/1009396/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
