SUSE dhcppc3 hostname

[Roger Oberholtzer]

In YaST, under network devices, where you set the interface to use DHCP,
there is a menu called "Host name and name server configuration".In
there is a checkbox for "Change hostname via DHCP". This must be
involved.

For the file editors amongst us, look at DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME in
/etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp.
