in my experience it is normal for a dhcp client to change it's hostname when recieving a dhcp address. it's been a long while since I used a debian system in a dynamic dhcp enviornment(most of my enviornments are statically assigned ips via MACs with DHCP just makes it easier and consistant), but in SuSE and redhat at least they by default change their hostnames to what the dhcp server says. though it is usually to a useful hostname that is the hostname of the IP in DNS, but I suppose a dhcp server could override what the hostname is sent out as. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
