Dear FreeBSD users,
how can I get my FreeBSD hostname registered in the central dns (DC02.AD.COMPANY.COM) at my workplace? My FreeBSD box gets an ip from the dhcp, but it's hostname is not registered at the central dns (so others can look up the ip by knowing the domain name).
But when I install a bhyve instance with OpenBSD 6.9 on it (just a standard install) it's hostname gets magically registered at obsd.ad.company.com. I was so surprised to see this effect.
Another bhyve instance of Debian 10 (pretty standard install), also does not get a hostname (only a dhcp ip).
Is it possible to analyze what is the difference between OpenBSD and FreeBSD networking here, to try to get the hostname registered?
I thought it might be something to do with Kerberos and Active Directory, but I do not think so; OpenBSD just does this little trick that I do not know what is.
I wanted to achieve this to help a colleague migrating some databases from MS Access using R through rapache (libapache2-mod-r-base) in the debian instance.
When installing OpenBSD in the bhyve, I think I saw some blue letters noticing an «ack!» had happened, but I took no futher not of it. It might be that ack ...
Best,
Rasmus
