Re: [K12OSN] DHCP not sending hostnames to clients

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.
