Dhclient can tell DNS what its name is, so you can have a network where everything has a name. I'm using dhcpcd but I think I might have found out how it can do the same thing. I plan to test that tonight.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I wonder if Avahi can name devices too.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I think I'll probably keep Amahi or OpenMediaVault when I'm done.
