    I am investigating the use of DHCP and Dynamic-DNS with Unix systems,
    specifically user desktop workstations. With the current crop of DHCP and
    DNS servers, it appears that each client can have a permanant hostname that
    resolves to the dynamic IP addresses provided by the DHCP server. To do
    this, however, the DHCP client must send its hostname as part of the DHCP
    request to the server. On HP-UX 11.x, this seems to be the task of the
    dhcpclient program. Unfortunately, there isn't a man page for dhcpclient
    (/usr/lbin/dhcpclient) to explain exactly what the various command line
    parameters do.

    I've verified that "simple" DHCP works just fine but I really need the
    ability to keep the unique hostname attached to each system. I'd appreciate
    it if anybody can point me to documentation on "dhcpclient".

    (yes, the Linux folks do this already...)

                                            Thanks, Tom
