[Bug 837385] Re: hostname from dhcp STILL not set, despite multiple ubuntu fixes and bug reports

[perpetualrabbit]

So, adding a file `hostname´ to /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/  with this in it:
# ===== begin /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/hostname ======
if [ -n $new_host_name ]
then
    echo "$new_host_name" > /etc/hostname
    /bin/hostname $new_host_name
fi
# ===== end   /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/hostname ======


_kind of_ works to fix this problem. But on text consoles it still reads `localhost login´,
and only after actually login is the hostname there on the prompt. Ugly. So it is not a
complete fix.

Why is it that the hostname gets set so late when I set it up like this?
Is the upstart /etc/init/hostname.conf script executed _before_ the
upbringing of the network? That could explain this.
