[PLUG] Debian question, running pump on boot

[Anthony Schlemmer]

I don't know about the other DHCP clients but back when I had @Home I 
used "dhcpcd" because I was required to include my assigned @Home 
hostname to get an IP Address from their DHCP server(s). I'm not sure 
if some of the other DHCP client's supported that ability or not. Since 
AT&T took over after @Home dumped me I don't need to specify a hostname 
any more when I run "dhcpcd". I do see that I still get my old hostname 
back in the DHCP reply when I look at the info file "dhcpcd" creates.
