Hi, I've had some weird problems with central hostname management. After a week of pulling out my hair, I can say definitely that I've found a bug.
I'm fiddling with two different Debian sandbox PC's. They don't have any 'hardcoded' hostname definition, only 'localhost' in /etc/hostname and 'localhost.localdomain' in /etc/hosts. They should get their hostname (FQDN) on boot time from the local Dnsmasq server. The two boxes only have a minimal Debian install. No X, no GUI, only an SSH server. On the 64-bit machine, everything happens as expected, and 'hostname' as well as 'hostname --fqdn' return the correct values. On the 32-bit machine, I only get 'localhost' and 'localdomain'. The thing is: the hostname *sometimes* (!!!) gets sent to the 32-bit Debian client. But more often than not, it fails. Maybe the devs can look into this.
