[Kea-users] client_id in the leases files

[Stephen Berg, Code 7309]

I've noticed that most if not all of my linux clients do not send 
anything in the lease request for client_id. The iDracs in my Dell 
servers and MacOS systems all seem to end up with the hardware address 
showing in the client_id field of /var/log/dhcp4.leases but none of the 
linux clients.

I've tried setting DHCP_HOSTNAME in 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 on a couple of clients but 
that doesn't end up populating the leases file like the other systems.  
All my systems use a reserved address based on hw-address.  I do have 
multiple subnets and use dhcrelay to get across those.

It's certainly not a show stopper but I am curious what setting my linux 
systems are missing to cause this.

I'm on kea-1.8.0 running on a Rocky Linux 8.5 system.
