here is what I found when I locate dhcp:
/usr/bin/kpac_dhcp_helper
/usr/share/doc/iproute-2.4.7/examples/dhcp-client-script
/usr/share/man/man5/dhcp-options.5.gz
/var/lib/dhcp
/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.leases
/etc/log.d/conf/services/dhcpd.conf
/etc/log.d/scripts/services/dhcpd
I looked at each of these files and didn't find anything relating to a computer name. The first three won't run, the lases one describes what lease information I have been give and the dhcpd and the conf file are very bare. Here is the dhcpd.conf file

Which doesn't look like I can add anything that would help. Any other suggestions? The only file that looks promising is dhclient.conf.5.gz, I assume this is the file that dhclient is looking into, but again I find only one place where it says send host-name, but if that is true it is sending andare.fugue.com, which doesn't show up. I will post this file if you think it will help. Okay, I will shut up and listen now.
thanks
PS I am running redhat not slack
