Public bug reported:
dhclient contains the ability to configure send-host in
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf. This results in the text string being sent to
the DHCP server when requesting an address. Windows boxes, by default,
send the system host name + any configured domain name along with this
request. Additionally, in Windows networks (Active Directory) DHCP is
usually configured to create a DNS A record in response to a host
requesting an address.
dhclient should, by default, send essentially $(hostname --fqdn) to the
DHCP server by default.
This bug is part of the push for the network-authentication spec.
** Affects: dhcp3 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
