[ale] Bootp

[Larry Gee]

I'm having trouble getting bootp to set the hostname on a RH 5.x (5.0,
5.1, 5.2) based laptop and desktop.

server setup
RH 5.0 using ICP dhcpd

Here is my dhcpd.conf file.

default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;

host "acer" {
        hardware ethernet 00:60:08:B1:5C:D6;
        fixed-address 208.205.6.192;
        option host-name "acer";
}

subnet 208.205.6.128 netmask 255.255.255.128 {
        option subnet-mask 255.255.255.128;
        option broadcast-address 208.205.6.255;
        option routers 208.205.6.129;
        option domain-name-servers 208.205.6.11;
        option domain-name "realminfo.com";
}

If I use dhcp to configure the client, the hostname and network settings
are just fine.  However, if I use bootp, the network settings work, but
the hostname and domain name remain empty.

Any Ideas?
