Hi Dan,
thanks for your reply.
Ah, sorry. That block is for the connection files
in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections, if that's where the
connection is stored.
If the connection is instead stored in an ifcfg file on Fedora or RHEL,
then you'll want to use "DHCP_SEND_HOSTNAME=no" in the ifcfg file for
the connection in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections is an empty folder so I went
ahead and added "DHCP_SEND_HOSTNAME=no" to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<SSID>
(a WIFI connection)
unfortunately I still see my hostname in the DHCP Request packets
(wireshark).
I even tried a reboot to see if this change requires a reboot, but no luck.
Is this a bug in a rarely used config option or am I still doing
something wrong?
thanks!
