[NCLUG] dhcp and @home

[Chris Hardy]

With RedHat it's fairly easy.. All you need to do is edit /sbin/ifup and
change the following line from
        if /sbin/pump $PUMPARGS -i $DEVICE ; then
to
	if /sbin/pump $PUMPARGS -h yourhostname -i $DEVICE ; then

yourhostname is the funky name like c1543326-a that they should have
provided you.
