I assumed that's how it was done by dhclient on RedHat7.3/8/9 all of which just did this automatically whenever I selected DHCP configuration of the interface. I've been comparing FreeBSD 5.1's default dhclient-script to RedHat's trying to discern if that's where the difference is, or if there's just a subtle bug in the version of dhclient included with FreeBSD 5.1 I want to use dynamic hostname assignment so that my hostname will have valid reverse DNS. -- Shawn http://drevil.warpcore.org/
