In ifup-post, there appears to be a scope issue with the construct: eval `/bin/ipcalc --silent --hostname ${IPADDR}` && set_hostname $HOSTNAME The set_hostname function does not get handed the value of $HOSTNAME as is set by the eval, instead uses $HOSTNAME as it exists before the eval. In my case, I have HOSTNAME set to "localhost" to force hostname to be set to the fqdn of the IP the DHCP server hands it. As a result of the above mentioned problem, the hostname never gets set. I can provide bash -x output of this if you need. I have resolved this on my setup via (lame but easy): eval `/bin/ipcalc --silent --hostname ${IPADDR}` && HOSTNAME=`/bin/ipcalc --silent --hostname ${IPADDR}|sed s/HOSTNAME=//` && set_hostname $HOSTNAME - Jim Collins (jim_collins)
