Description Julian Gorfajn 2004-11-29 10:51:43 UTC 
dhcp should identify the machine name as "livecd" for dhcpd servers that do ddns.

It should do this:

Nov 28 12:38:01 server dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (livecd) via eth0

Instead of this:

Nov 28 12:38:01 server dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx via eth0

This has been added to the CVS for livecd-tools...

I watched the dhcp-traffic with ethereal on my dhcp-server.  There is no 'Option 12: Host Name = "livecd"' given with the usual dhcpcd-run from the init-scripts.  When I add a "-h livecd" to dhcpcd, it requests the server in the way as the bug-reporter wants it.

Tested on the 2005.0 ppc LiveCD.

So it did *not* send the hostname?
Comment 4 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-13 06:33:48 UTC 
Bleh... I just figured out why this didn't work correctly and is fixed in livecd-tools 1.0.20

This should be closed when 2005.1 is released...

2005.1 has been released
