Okay, sorry. I think that maybe it shouldn't be set in the default dhclient.conf, or there should at least be a note about it in NEWS.Debian. This is going to bite everyone who uses dhclient on a portable computer. Also, what's going to happen if the DHCP server does send the hostname anyway? I'm afraid that the hostname will be changed then, allowing a malicious DHCP server to change hostnames of Debian machines whenever it likes to. Regards, -- Tomáš Janoušek, a.k.a.
