Re: [TCLUG:3337] dhcp and kernel 2.2

[Ben Luey <lueyb@carleton.edu>]

I just got the new dhcpcd version 1.3.16-2 and it works for the most part.
My minor problem is that is can't detect my hostname correctly, so it
defaults to www with no domain. This makes outgoing e-mail get rejected
because it is sent from a fake domain name. I manually changed it to what
it should be, is that ok? Everything seems to work fine now, so should I
just ignore this and remeber to makes changes on every reboot, or ...

Thanks,

Ben
