We read the hostname and store it as $HOSTNAME but then we do: add "$FILE" "netcfg/get_hostname" "string" "debian" I guess this should be $HOSTNAME (if set) or "debian". But I'm not sure that's even worth fixing now. > I guess hostname should be set by the Line 293: > unset_matching_var "HOSTNAME" NAS$(echo "$MAC" | sed > 's/^..:..:..://' | sed 's/://g') > > There're several calling to "unset_matching_var" for other devices in > that script, so if it's not working, it should be a bug to report. What unset_matching_var does it to unset a variable if it has a particular value. This is because we don't want to use values that are the default values. i.e. only take the value if the user has personally chosen something. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/
