Which dhcp client are you using? With the package dhcp3-client all these settings can be done by the script /sbin/dhclient-script and hooks in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d (see man page of dhclient-script). By setting the variable RUN to yes in the hook named "debug" all available variables can be displayed (see comments in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/debug). The standard behaviour of the dhclient-script is to change the hostname only if it was set to "(none)" originally. But, as said, this can be changed by adding a new function "set_hostname" in a hook-script. -- Regards, Jörg-Volker. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
