Hi.
I just setup one of my machines as a DHCP server. I'd like it to handle the hostnames of clients. Don't know if this is an orthodox thing to do (feel free to add your comments :oD). Here's the server's relevant lines of dhcpd.conf:
--8<------- ... # Envoyer les noms d'hôtes aux clients use-host-decl-names on;
# Adresses statiques host babasse { hardware ethernet 00:0d:61:ae:6b:8f; fixed-address 192.168.1.249; } --8<-------
Now the question is: how should the configuration look like on the client side, so the hostname gets effetively fetched from the DHCP server? During the initial install, I assigned hostnames manually to every machine.
Cheers,
