Indeed. On SuSE this is done in /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp with DHCLIENT_CLIENT_ID. By default it's blank. But, DHCLIENT_CLIENT_ID=`/usr/bin/awk '/VM00 Name:/ { print $NF }' /proc/sysinfo` This was the foundation of a lot of DR and provisioning automation for us. I've spent more than a little time to no avail, trying to determine whether this is even possible with, for example, Xen. Disappointing, as it's such a simple thing. ok bear. -- until further notice ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
