hostname in fc (SOLVED)

[Partha Bagchi]

The file that gets written is when you follow the procedure below is

/etc/dhclient-ethX.conf

with the following information:

send host-name "myfcserver"; # or whatever is the name of your server.

So, it is a different file that you need than the one in the 
network-scripts directory.
