Re: hostname



Hi again,

Got the solution, you need to set your hostname in the /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf to,

send host-name "<your_hostname>";
supersede host-name "<your_hostname>";

Enjoy,

Contrary to popular belief Unix is userfriendly,
it is just picky as to whom it is friendly with...

When I connect to my network with NetworkManager, it resets my hostname to a value received by DHCP. Is there a way not let NetworkManager do this?

Actually there is a way to avoid setting the hostname.  However, it
depends on your distribution.

There are are couple of backends (src/backends) which provide
distribution specific bits.  Among others, each backend has to implement
the function nm_system_set_hostname().  This function is able to decide
on whether to set the hostname or not (e.g. the decision can depend on
some configuration file option).

Please get in touch with the NetworkManager maintainers of your
distribution to solve this issue.

Thanks,

   Timo
