Re: tried this...
Authored by: blb on May 28, '01 05:06:20PM

I did look a little into this, and what I found is that it uses ipconfig (and the daemon, ipconfigd) to check for a hostname (the exact line is,

ipconfig getoption "" host_name

which, when I run (as root, so add sudo in front if necessary) is that there's nothing. When this happens in the Network startup script, it then falls back to localhost.
The big question, then, is how do you tell ipconfigd to setup a host_name entry? I have yet to stumble onto any docs for ipconfig/ipconfigd.
