Solaris 10, dhcp and hostname

Solaris 10 relies on dhcpd to pass it a valid hostname. If that doesn't happen the hostname is set to "unkown".

Fix: Set the host-name option in dhcpd.conf when using isc-dhcpd.

                host dopey {
                        hardware ethernet 08:00:20:c1:95:e8;
                        fixed-address 192.168.200.14;
                        option host-name "dopey";
                }

Alternatives are either hacking the init scripts (basically replace "unknown" with the hostname you want), or writing a custom init script.
