I'm using DHCPD. I took two spare machines this morning and played around with them to make some tests. Here's what I got.
a) Server-side, static IP configuration of course, here's what dhcpd.conf looks like:
# Options globales ddns-update-style interim; authoritative; default-lease-time 86400; # un jour max-lease-time 86400; # un jour
# Données du réseau local option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option routers 192.168.1.254; option domain-name-servers 62.4.16.70, 62.4.17.69; option domain-name "local";
# Plage d'adresses dynamiques subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.240; }
host raymonde { hardware ethernet 00:20:ed:b8:e8:ec; fixed-address 192.168.1.2; option host-name "raymonde"; }
b) on the client side, just a plain (default) DHCP client configuration. Now the client ("raymonde") gets his pre-defined address OK. And even the hostname gets transmitted. Now the question is: how do I also assign the domain name ("local") to the client?
If I take a look at /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-eth0.leases (on the client), here's a summary of the lease:
lease { interface "eth0"; fixed-address 192.168.1.2; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option routers 192.168.1.254; option dhcp-lease-time 86400; option dhcp-message-type 5; option domain-name-servers 62.4.16.70,62.4.17.69; option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.1.252; option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255; option host-name "raymonde"; option domain-name "local"; renew 1 2009/6/29 17:04:30; rebind 2 2009/6/30 04:47:44; expire 2 2009/6/30 07:47:44; }
Here's what 'hostname' returns:
# hostname raymonde
But when I go for the domain name, I get this:
# hostname -d hostname: Hôte inconnu --> means 'Unknown host' in french :o)
Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?
Cheers,
