Hi Tom,
This isn't quite the 'right' way to do it, but it does work:
go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
Open ifup with your favorite editor
Find this section:
if [ -n "$PUMP" ]; then
PUMPARGS="-h $DHCPHOSTNAME"
echo -n "Determining IP information for $DEVICE..."
if /sbin/pump $PUMPARGS -i $DEVICE ; then
echo " done."
else
echo " failed."
exit 1
fi
else
You can set the variable $DHCPHOSTNAME to be your connect ID. I was
only able to get it working by defining the variable inside the ifup
script itself (in fact I just replaced $DHCPHOSTNAME with my actual
client ID).
Hope this helps!
Bryn
