Description

It would be good to at least detect hostname leaks caused by the DHCP client, to catch regressions such as Bug #7688 earlier. Presumably, our existing test suite infrastructure that can capture all network traffic and inspect it could be reused here.

(We now have a step to check this as part of our manual test suite, but adding more and more pain there is no real solution.)

I’m on it, in the hope it can save me from doing too much manual testing of Bug #7688. We’ll see if I manage to get it done soon enough.

Done, the new “dhcp” feature works fine: fails on 1.1, passes with current experimental (that has bugfix/7688-no-dhcp-send-hostname merged in).

I’m only testing the default eth0 DCHP connection, but other kinds of connections could possibly behave differently. I’ll try to test those too.
