Re: dhclient: avoiding hostname disclosure via DHCP request

Hi Dan,

thanks for your reply.

After reading your reply, I tried to add:

"
[ipv4]
dhcp-send-hostname=false
"

to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
but that wasn't very successful.

There are not much files under /etc/NetworkManager at all.

Do I have to put that somewhere under
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
?

thanks!
