Package: gnome-nettool
Version: 1.2.0-1

The gnome-nettool network configuration application does not have any
capability to set a hostname that is sent to a dynamic DNS server.

There is a file at /etc/dhclient.conf that need to be altered if one
desires to have their machine's host name be made available to the DNS
system.

Currently, this requires that the end user or system owner manually
edit the /etc/dhclient.com file.

Truly,

Mark Allyn

Dear Mark,

Network configuraiton is not handled by gnome-nettool. It is merely
passed on to network-admin from the gnome-system-tools. However, dynamic
DNS is not a system configuration issue, but a 3rd party tool/option
(i.e. ddclient/ez-ipupdate) -- so I'm closing this bug report instead of
reassigning it.

If you disagree, please file a wishlist against gnome-system-tools.

Yours sincerely,
Andrew Lau
