Hi,

What is the required configuration in a FreeBSD 8.2 release host for it to
publish its name in a dynamic dns supported network?


LINUX: For a Linux host  with name x.y.z.com I had to do the following:
=====
# echo "DHCP_HOSTNAME=x;" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# echo "PEERDNS=no" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# echo "SEARCH=\" y.z.com" >> /etc/sysconfig/network
# echo "HOSTNAME=x.y.z.com" >> /etc/sysconfig/network
# reboot


SEARCH: Couldnt find for host configuration
=======
My Google search gave some links describing Linux host configuration but
none for freebsd host configuration. Some described FreeBSD server
configuration though (
