Description Con Tassios 2006-12-17 21:20:55 UTC
Can you please add the ability to disable setting of the hostname in nm_system_set_hostname(), similar to how src/backends/NetworkManagerSuSE.c uses DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME.

Feature requests need to go upstream, not to Gentoo.

Comment 2 Con Tassios 2006-12-18 01:55:04 UTC
The upstream version of NetworkManager actually does what I require, ie. It does not modify the hostname.  It is the patch added by Gentoo (networkmanager-updatedbackend.patch) which includes code to change the system hostname. It would be nice to have the option of disabling this feature.
