Re: equivalent of /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks with NM and FC3

[Peter Wittich <peter wittich gmail com>]

Hi,

This is what I used to do. I primarily move between two networks, home
and work. Most of my work is done on two other networks. I used to
modify dhclient-enter-hooks to add the last two networks to the search
order such that rather than typing "slogin host.subnet.domain" I just
had to type "slogin host."

It's a convenience, but when you log on to many different machines it
was very nice.

There was also a nicety of making my active device appear in
/etc/hosts with the correct ip address rather than having to go to the
dns server. this probably is irrelevant, but you could also do this
with dhclient-exit-hooks.

Cheers,
Peter
