[Linux-disciples] hostname 'announce' on LAN

[Adam Rosi-Kessel]

I seem to remember on same LANs you can ping systems by their hostname
directly (e.g., 'ping joehill' resolves to my computer).

Presumably it's necessary to enable hostname 'advertising' in some way.

Does anyone know where this is done?
