To make life difficult there were two problems:
- local= is now set to /localnet/.mydomain_name.com/
now I can understand the .myd... bit, even though the
docs
don't make the leading . clear. But I have no idea what
the
localnet bit does - what is it there for (or can I just
drop
it).
- to make life hard, the mandrake 10.1 machine I was
testing
from wasn't actually sending HOSTNAME, or HOSTID in its
dhcp request. I just overtyped the HOSTNAME= line in
ifcfg-etho not knowing that the real variable is
DHCP_HOSTNAME, once I changed that it worked.
