 |
|
Hello,
I have installed gentoo with dhcp set on the interface. The IP adress is assigned fine. But, on my server I run (RH9) dhcp updateing the dns records, so that when a client connects, their dhcp hostname is added to the dns records. However from my newly installed gentoo client, the dhcp host name does not seem to be sent to the dhcp server. Is there a way to set this, (I guess there is, I just don't know how to)?
Thank you

I had the same problem.
Open up /etc/conf.d/net
Add the "-h" option to the dhcpcd line like this:
| Code: | | dhcpcd_eth0="-h laureate" |
Where laureate is your host name. It works fine for me.
You might need to restart the "net.eth0" (or whatever) service.
