[Bug 315444] Re: jaunty: strips domain from hostname even if using DHCP

[Joshua Weage]

Yes.  It still seems to be a problem.  The DHCP client in 12.04 does not
set the DNS domain name.  This is a huge problem for corporate networks
as it breaks NFSv4.

I have to say I'm quite unimpressed with Ubuntu for business use.

Title:
  jaunty: strips domain from hostname even if using DHCP

Status in “netcfg” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: netcfg

  Current jaunty seems to strip the domain part from hostname even when
  using DHCP. Looked at netcfg-common.c, and it indicates that this
  should not happen, and it used to work ok ~month ago in jaunty. We
  rely on FQDN hostnames, so I might need to hack around this somehow..
