For some strange reasone, when I do that, I get 'host name lookup
failure' during `service network restart´ invocation, so in the end I
resorted to using just:
DHCP_HOSTNAME=`hostname`
which seems to work properly until now, and now my router can see the
computer names for its DHCP clients, which is a big step compared to
seeing just the MAC address. :)
I haven't closely followed this thread - did someone mention just putting
HOSTNAME= in /etc/sysconfig/network?
Yes, this thread actually starts at
nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.centos.general/120489
I have the 'HOSTNAME= ' line in /etc/sysconfig/network, and the DHCP
client still does not send the hostname to the DHCP server on start-up.
So my router never knows my computer name.
The point was how to tell DHCP client to send the *current* hostname to
the server, instead of hard-coding the hostname in the dhclient
configuration file.
