Re: [K12OSN] DHCP not sending hostnames to clients

["Richard Camp" <rcamp campworld net>]

I tried that in the global scope as well as the subnet scope.  All other services resolve a hostname.  Even booting a node to runlevel 3 for 
shell access for testing nameserver tests works.  I've assumed that that this is not a major issue for this group so I also posted a 
message on the ltsp-discuss mailing list.  The only time I see most people having trouble with this is when using local-app support.  
Some software may want to use the hostname function to get their ip address.  I'm hoping I don't have to statically setup each client.
