Bug#325063: gnome-nettool does not set the send host-name to dynamic DNS

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
