I don't know, if somebody already observed that, but in Diablo there's a small nice improvement.

When using DHCP server to get an IP address (usually through Wi-Fi) Chinook did not register any hostname with it. So, when you want to ping/ssh/whatever your tablet from PC you had to first find out what IP address it had, and then use it.

Now the network manager will start /sbin/udhcpc (the program that manages the DHCP address registration) with an additional option, which will register an hostname for your tablet. In Chinook I had to replace udhcpc with a script, which did the same

The hostname is stored in your /etc/hostname file and by default has a long and unusable form. I don't know of any way to change the hostname from UI, so you will have to edit (as root) /etc/hostname and put whatever you like there (for example, I call it for short "tot").

Now instead of doing ssh root@192.168.1.223 you can enter just ssh root@tot :-)

Hi;

This is a great tip!

I had never thought of ssh'ing into my tablet from a desktop. I can think of a lot of things this will make easier!

That's about what I had to do to get rsync to work.
