I was reading the dhclient.conf man page about requesting a hostname from dhcp servers. My question is, can I request any hostname I want? ..or.. Should I request a hostname with the dhcp server supplied domain appended to my chosen hostname? Or, am I stuck with the funky hyroglyphic looking hostname provided by the dhcp server? Here is an excerpt from the dhclient.conf man page. I am trying this exact same thing but cant get it to work. I do a dnslookup on the hostname I send and nothing is found. Also, Is there a place to view the reject statements from the server? --------- snip more dhclient.conf man page stuff ------ interface "ep0" { send host-name "andare.fugue.com"; --------- snip more dhclient.conf man page stuff ------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
