Handing out host names

   *** From dhcp-server -- To unsubscribe, see the end of this message. ***



Server: Red Hat v8.0 with dhcp-3.0pl1-15 installed
Client: Red Hat v8.0

Here's my /etc/dhcpd.conf, MAC addressed changed to protect the
innocent:

--
ddns-update-style none;
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.200;
        option routers 192.168.1.1;
        option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
        option domain-name "mydomain.org";

        range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.50;
        next-server server.mydomain.org;

        host server {
                hardware ethernet XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:00;
                fixed-address 192.168.1.200;
        }
        host client {
                hardware ethernet XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:01;
                fixed-address 192.168.1.201;
        }
}
--

When "client" boots up it's being assigned the 192.168.1.201 IP address
so I know I have the correct MAC address entered, however, it's hostname
is not being set to client.mydomain.org.  It stays
localhost.localdomain.

What am I doing wrong?
