[Bug 1006937] Re: dhclient does not send hostname to dhcp-server

[Stefan Bader]

Right, seems a change to fix a FTBS rendered already set compile flags
useless. And one of those is the location of the config file. Trying to
cook up a fix for that.

Title:
  dhclient does not send hostname to dhcp-server

Status in “isc-dhcp” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since the last update dhclient does not send the hostname any more if
  not explicitly set within /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf. The line "send
  host-name "<hostname>";" does not work as expected.

  I found:
  kernel: [   14.777460] type=1400 audit(1338471832.076:11): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_replace" name="/sbin/dhclient" pid=919 comm="apparmor_parser"
  in /var/log/syslog. Nothing else.

  After looking closely on if the config file was even read, I found it
  is not, because it is only searched at /usr/local/etc/dhclient.conf,
  /etc/dhclient.conf, but not at /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf. Adding "-cf
  /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf" to the commandline options solved the
  problem.
