* summary: /sbin/dhclient-script doesn't set hostname because LFS sets
hostname to "(none)" => Can't set hostname to
empty string using /etc/sysconfig/network
Comment:
Hi Alexander,
Ok if the kernel itself is setting the hostname to '(none)' then IMHO the
/sbin/dhclient-script should be able to handle that. This is the section
of /sbin/dhclient-script where setting the hostname is being handled
(/sbin/dhclient-script is invoked by dhclient) from line 109 onwards:
{{{
current_hostname=`hostname`
if [ x$current_hostname = x ] || \
[ x$current_hostname = x$old_host_name ]; then
if [ x$current_hostname = x ] || \
[ x$new_host_name != x$old_host_name ]; then
hostname $new_host_name
fi
fi
}}}
It seems to me that it should be changed to something like:
{{{
current_hostname=`hostname`
if [ x$current_hostname = x ] || [ $current_hostname = '(none)' ] || \
[ x$current_hostname = x$old_host_name ]; then
if [ x$current_hostname = x ] || [ $current_hostname = '(none)' ] || \
[ x$new_host_name != x$old_host_name ]; then
hostname $new_host_name
fi
fi
}}}
Bye,
Jonathan
