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

[Jason Sharp]

This still doesn't seem to be fixed

i'm running 12.10

root:~# apt-cache policy isc-dhcp-client 
isc-dhcp-client:
  Installed: 4.2.4-1ubuntu10.1
  Candidate: 4.2.4-1ubuntu10.1
  Version table:

root at vut-jsharp01:~# nslookup vut-jsharp01
Server:		127.0.1.1
Address:	127.0.1.1#53

** server can't find vut-jsharp01: SERVFAIL

root at vut-jsharp01:~# nslookup 10.12.2.167
Server:		127.0.1.1
Address:	127.0.1.1#53

167.2.12.10.in-addr.arpa        name = vut-jsharp01.us.drwholdings.com.

This is after I delete my DNS records...restart network-manager....run
dhclient manually....or bounce my machine

still doesn't register my forward lookup

Title:
  dhclient does not send hostname to dhcp-server

Status in “isc-dhcp” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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.
