Subject: [PATCH] Add hostname-labeled loopback entries for DHCP
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This addresses a regression since the netconfig in Slackware 14.2. Previously,
|
||
|
|
when selecting to configure the machine with DHCP we would have entries with
|
||
|
|
the loopback addresses that were labeled with the machine's hostname.
|
||
|
|
Without these, a machine will not be able to contact itself using its own
|
||
|
|
hostname unless something else is providing matching name service, and we
|
||
|
|
do not want to have to rely on this.
