Re: Detailed startup logs?

[Ajit Warrier <unixajit yahoo com>]

So if /etc/rc.d/init.d/network calls
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup, which calls
ifcfg-eth0 and if dhclient is called from
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup only then I am
really lost. Because when I do ifup eth0 it does not
send the hostname to the DHCP server but when I do
dhclient eth0 it does send it. One would think that
both would have the same effect since ifup does its
magic through dhclient. And the same thing happens
when I reboot the system - it comes up without sending
the hostname. 

That's why I am begining to think I should add a
script which will call dhclient eth0 at the time of
startup rather than ifup eth0, since dhclient eth0
also brings the interface up. Is that a good way to
go?
