kernel.hostname = new-host > Could now be getting your hostname from your dhcp server via dhclient or via > NM? Perhaps, although as I noted in a different message, I thought I saw this before the network was even set up. I'll have to check more carefully. In any event, I've used this system for years on various sorts of networks (mostly controlled by consumer grade SOHO router / firewall / wireless AP / DHCP servers running both the manufacturer's standard firmware as well as OpenWrt), with both static addressing as well as DHCP, and I've never seen this before today.
