I've just been playing with this one at the moment in F8. I've got
DHCP_HOSTNAME=rhapsody
in both /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0
and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
nm-applet on F8 now shows just "Auto eth0", but I'll leave that for the
time-being... anyway, with NetworkManager nm-dhclient-eth0.conf contains
send host-name "rhapsody";
BUT I don't think the client is actually sending this --- I captured the
packets with Wireshark and it's not in any of the DHCP request's
options.
When I ran /sbin/dhclient eth0 -cf /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf (which
contains the same lines as nm-dhclient-eth0.conf above), the hostname
request is part of the request packet, and the name resolves OK.
Regards,
James.
