I was reading the dhclient.conf man page about
requesting a hostname from dhcp servers.
My question is, can I request any
hostname I want? ..or.. Should I request a hostname
with the dhcp server supplied domain appended to
my chosen hostname? Or, am I stuck with the
funky hyroglyphic looking hostname provided by the
dhcp server? Here is an excerpt
from the dhclient.conf man page. I am trying this exact
same thing but cant get it to work.
I do a dnslookup on the hostname I send and
nothing is found. Also, Is there a place to view the
reject statements from the server?
