My experience is that it does _not_ do this by default but only if a line with 'send host-name "<hostname>";' is included in dhclient.conf. Please see: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=236533 This bugreport is valid for both dhcp-client _and_ dhcp3-client. In the case of dhcp3-client I could only ping the new system using the FQDN _after_ adding the above line to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf. This means that the hostname is not added dynamically in my DNS-server. In both cases the hostname can (should?) be unqualified. I have just tested with dhcp3-client by: - - making a clean install (i386 100MB netinst CD Apr 05) hostname: sauron - - apt-get install dhcp3-client (removes old dhcp-client) - - verified that this was 3.0.1rc13-1 - - /etc/init.d/networking restart - - ping sauron.fjphome.nl => 'unknown host' - - add 'send host-name "sauron";' to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf - - /etc/init.d/networking restart - - ping sauron.fjphome.nl => ping OK (address returned from DNS-server) I have attached an extract from syslog from my DHCP/DNS-server (with comments). If you need any more info, please contact me. Hope this helps, FJP -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAcfCUgm/Kwh6ICoQRAhUEAJ4oSxmcn6f2CTxAf/uZwFpo+Al1swCbB3JJ 56h690L8bQhtpBeUyaIgGDc= =Wrfl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
