So I've been away from school for the past month or so, and when I left everything worked dandy with my laptop. However, now I have a hostname issue. The hostname I have in my rc.conf is "Hero" and the /etc/hosts looked like this (if I remember correctly):
#
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 Hero.localdomain localhost Hero
# End of file
And everything worked dandily. However, now, whenever I connect my hostname is changed to something automatically:
#
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 auto.assigned.address.edu localhost.localdomain localhost
# End of file
I thought that maybe this was the result of dhpcd getting the hostname from the server, so in my dhcpcd.conf I now have
hostname Hero
. After changing the /etc/hosts file back and doing a /etc/rc.d/network restart and a /etc/rc.d/networkmanager restart (yeah, I use nm with GNOME), the /etc/hosts files remains unchanged. But after rebooting the computer, the /etc/hosts has only the automatically assigned IP with the standard localhost.localdomain and localhost.
Any suggestions on where to look next?

what version of networkmanager?
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Huh. I had actually scanned that bug before but must not have actually read it. I had also downgraded without effect, but I guess I must have not tested it correctly. Thanks for that heads up.
