Are you using NetworkManager with dhclient ? NetworkManager with dhcpcd should give you no issues since dhcpcd sends the hostname along with the dhcp request.
dhclient does not with the defaults given by NetworkManager.
Actually, it does. Here, /var/run/nm-dhclient-wlan0.conf contains:
# Created by NetworkManager
send host-name "philomeena"; # added by NetworkManager
option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8; option ms-classless-static-routes code 249 = array of unsigned integer 8; option wpad code 252 = string;
also request rfc3442-classless-static-routes; also request ms-classless-static-routes; also request wpad; also request ntp-servers;
---
"philomeena" being the hostname of my laptop.
well then for the people where networkmanager is not so nice to: the following is an actual example and consistent over all my machines with dhclient (4 desktops having the exact same output) --- /var/run/nm-dhclient-eth0.conf --- (without dhclient-eth0.conf) # Aangemaakt door NetworkManager option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8; option ms-classless-static-routes code 249 = array of unsigned integer 8; option wpad code 252 = string; also request rfc3442-classless-static-routes; also request ms-classless-static-routes; also request wpad; also request ntp-servers; --- /var/run/nm-dhclient-eth0.conf --- if NetworkManager does not do the trick, create the dhclient-eth0.conf file or symlink and your hostname will be sent for sure -- Ike
