Thread: Avoid sending hostname via dhclient using NetworkManager


i have been trying modify dhclient.conf file avoid sending hostname via dhclient.

however, when use networkmanager rather dhclient command line utility, instead uses file:
/run/nm-dhclient-wlan0.conf (if wlan0 interface used)

and..., problem adds line:
send host-name "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"; # added networkmanager

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx real hostname.

point don't want real hostname sent, rather no hostname or hostname define, seems impossible, since networkmanager removes "send host-name" line , adds own real hostname.

however, if instead of using networkmanager use dhclient, works perfectly.

idea on how use networkmanager , don't send hostname defined in computer?

(ftr: reason don't want send because travel lot, use public wifi's , don't want real hostname (which includes real name) sent, neither use static ip configuration, i'd solution using dhclient.conf files , networkmanager, avoid nm modifying conf. files).

thank much,
alberto.
