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

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package isc-dhcp - 4.1.ESV-R4-0ubuntu8

---------------
isc-dhcp (4.1.ESV-R4-0ubuntu8) quantal-proposed; urgency=low

  * Add "-Wno-unused-but-set-variable" instead of replacing all
    options already set. Otherwise the config file will not be
    found (LP: #1006937) for example.

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.
