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,
