 |
|
Hi!
Ive recently finished installing gentoo. Since I'm using dhcp on my LAN with ddns, it relies on that the client sends their hostname to the dhcp-server in order for it to update the DNS for the ip the client recieved.
Anyone that could point me in the right direction?

From the manpage of dhcpcd:
| Quote: |
-h <hostname>
specifies a string used for the hostname option field when dhcpcd sends DHCP messages. Some DHCP servers, notably those used by @Home Networks, require the hostname option field containing a specific string in the DHCP messages from clients.

Thanks! |

edit /etc/conf.d/net.
should look something like this
iface_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpd_eth0="-h <your hostname>"
