If your only intention is to set the hostname once and stay unchanged (regardless of any possible side-effects) then the following might be a solution: (1) Introduce a new profile, say Dual-IP, using a patch like this one: diff --git a/etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/hostname b/etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/hostname old mode 100755 new mode 100644 index ae6718d6..f5247407 --- a/etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/hostname +++ b/etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/hostname @@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ if [ -r /etc/debian-edu/config ] ; then . /etc/debian-edu/config fi -if echo "$PROFILE" | egrep -q 'Main-Server|Roaming-Workstation|Standalone' ; then +if echo "$PROFILE" | egrep -q 'Main-Server|Roaming-Workstation|Standalone|Dual-IP' ; then exit 0 else if echo "$PROFILE" | egrep -q 'Workstation|LTSP-Server|Thin-Client-Server|Minimal' ; then diff --git a/etc/network/if-up.d/hostname b/etc/network/if-up.d/hostname index d6b2b34e..34bc5192 100755 --- a/etc/network/if-up.d/hostname +++ b/etc/network/if-up.d/hostname @@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ if [ -r /etc/debian-edu/config ] ; then . /etc/debian-edu/config fi -if echo "$PROFILE" | egrep -q 'Main-Server|Roaming-Workstation|Standalone' ; then +if echo "$PROFILE" | egrep -q 'Main-Server|Roaming-Workstation|Standalone|Dual-IP' ; then exit 0 else if echo "$PROFILE" | egrep -q 'Workstation|LTSP-Server|Thin-Client-Server|Minimal' ; then IMO this patch wouldn't mess up anything else, but please check. (2) Configure the workstation: hostname <wanted name> hostname > /etc/hostname sed -i 's#Workstation#Workstation, Dual-IP#' /etc/debian-edu/config Wolfgang
