Is there an easy way in NetworkManager to always send the persistent host name in DHCP interactions? I can't seem to find one.
My understanding is that most of this is left to the distribution plugin. Under Fedora it appears that sending the host name is not done unless configuration files (like /etc/dhclient-wlan0.conf or /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1) are modified. So in Fedora it is possible to send *a* host name, but I wouldn't call the way of doing it easy. It appears that NetworkManager can get the persistent host name (from a plugin) and use that. However, no host name is sent unless NM_SETTING_IP4_CONFIG_DHCP_SEND_HOSTNAME is true, and this defaults to false. I guess, then, that I'm asking how to easily set this variable. Peter F. Patel-Schneider PS: I would count as "easy" changing the default for NM_SETTING_IP4_CONFIG_DHCP_SEND_HOSTNAME to true. :-) _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
