Central hostname management

[Niki Kovacs]

I'll answer this myself, since I just found the solution after some more 
fiddling. It's actually very simple and works perfectly.

On the client :

1. Remove network-manager.

2. Configure a classic DHCP client in /etc/network/interfaces.

3. Remove the static /etc/hostname file.

4. Edit /etc/hosts to only contain '127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain 
localhost'.

5. Reboot.

Now all clients are given correct hostname information (according to 
'hostname' and 'hostname --fqdn') from the server without the slightest 
bit of static information on any client machine. Works perfectly.

Cheers,

Niki
