Hello, I have a Debian Unstable machine connected to an old machine running as a router. The router is running dnsmasq and my local network is configured as home.pvt.
This Unstable machine is given the name of Blue by the dnsmasq server on on the router using dhcp (based on Blue's mac address). However, I have noticed that after some days, Blue's name on the network changes to Blue.local. The relevant syslog line in Blue appears to be: May 31 20:04:47 blue avahi-daemon[3514]: Server startup complete. Host name is blue.local. Local service cookie is 3941174068. I have to run dhclient on blue again to get the IP address again and to update its name in dnsmasq as blue. Anybody know what I should look for to prevent this addition of ".local" to the hostname? Or can somebody explain what is going on here? Thanks. -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.
