Hi, I started to work with Ubuntu nearly 4 years ago, mainly for workstations. I have been using Gentoo Linux for a long time too, and I was planning to switch my classrooms hosts to ubuntu since 2006. But I had several problems which prevented me to migrate thoses PC (. Some of these problems were blocking, and most of them got solved.
But one of these problems is that I am still unable to set my client' hostnames from DHCP server. On Gentoo hosts, for instance, calling dhcpcd with -H switch causes this agent to overwrite /etc/hostname at boot time with hostname supplied by the DHCP server. This is a blocking problem, which I solved by scripting a bit, but I really would prefer to have something "clean", especially since ubuntu updates may overwrite some of my "custom" modifications : a cleanly working system is preferable ;). A bug has been filled for this problem (1), but it does not seem to be solved. Is there any chance to get a clean solution for this in a near future please ?
