Subject: Suggested patch: Sending the FQDN when booting via DHCP
[re-sent without HTML encoding, and to the right aliases ...]
Hi all,
the following patch can be useful, in order to let the DHCP server
accordingly update the DNS, when booting via DHCP.
This can be useful for 2 reasons:
1) on small systems, the embedded filesystem may even not have udhcpd
2) when booting nfsroot, the nfs server does not like when udhcpd in
invoked, even when requested the same IP address.
Here is the patch, for 2.6.27-rc5. (Notice that it is the very first
time I deliver a patch for Linux, and I may
have missed some points on the procedure, if it is the case I apologize
for that). What do you think about it ?
Any ideas or comments are welcome.
Thanks,
Thierry
