>Organization:
Netnorth Ltd
>Environment:
FreeBSD *.netnorth.co.uk 4.4-RELEASE
>Description:
An administrative idea: In situations where users have root access to their own server and set the hostname to their own specification, rwhod announcements across the network are changed, sometimes producing duplicate announcements for a hostname (common ones, www, mail, etc).
It would be nice if there was an option to rwhod that specifies the hostname, so that ISP administrators would be able set the hostname broadcast to match their own internal naming convention.
