hostname

Hi,

In  /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts I have set my hostname. However when I run a scan of my LAN from smartphone it identifies laptop
as artixlinux. Where I can permanently set my hostname as wanted?

A second issue: I am connected to internet via mobile 4G router. When I try to change my mac address with macchanger, after the change I can not connect to the router.When I set the address back to the original I can connect. I have read that some routers does not allow random mac addresses. Could it be the case?

Thanks

1. Your network manager probably advertises it.
2. Can you connect to other wireless devices? Try a phone's hotspot to test.

Hi,

So I use connman as network manager. In file /etc/connman/main.conf I have set>

Code: [Select]
AllowHostnameUpdates=false

But after reboot the issue persists. Everything seems to be fine, but when i scan the LAN it displays artixlinux.
I can see artixlinux as hostname when I run tcpdump>
Code: [Select]
21:35:52.009684 IP 192.168.0.1.domain > artixlinux.60025: 50998 NXDomain 0/1/0 (152)
21:35:55.058640 ARP, Request who-has artixlinux tell 192.168.0.1, length 28
21:35:55.064900 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.0.1 tell artixlinux, length 28



Here is another similar thread, but the solution does not work fot me

I usually use hardened kernel , could it be related?

I use OpenRC as my init, and I have my hostname set in /etc/conf.d/hostname as well as /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts, and the "hostname" service is enabled to run at boot - you can see what it does in /etc/init.d/hostname. Other inits probably differ but presumably do something similar - it could be worth investigating.
