Hello, Here is a small patch to chroot that adds the ability to run the chroot environment with a different namespace for the hostname. I am hoping that other people (besides myself) will find this feature useful, and that it will be considered for inclusion in the excellent coreutils suite. The additional code is plainly stolen from Michael Marineau's chname tool, so I reckon most of the credit should go to him. (see http://mike.marineau.org/blog/code/2007-07-23-giving-chroot-its-own-hostname-chname ) With kind regards, Zaerc Rene.
