Set the management mode of the hostname. This parameter will
affect only the transient hostname. If a valid static hostname is set,
NetworkManager will skip the update of the hostname despite the value of
this option. An hostname empty or equal to 'localhost', 'localhost6',
'localhost.localdomain' or 'localhost6.localdomain' is considered invalid.
</para>
<para><literal>default</literal>: NetworkManager will update the hostname
with the one provided via DHCP on the main connection (the one with a default
route). If not present, the hostname will be updated to the last one set
outside NetworkManager. If it is not valid, NetworkManager will try to recover
the hostname from the reverse lookup of the IP address of the main connection.
If this fails too, the hostname will be set to 'localhost.localdomain'.
</para>
<para><literal>dhcp</literal>: NetworkManager will update the transient hostname
only with information coming from DHCP. No fallback nor reverse lookup will be
performed, but when the dhcp connection providing the hostname is deactivated,
the hostname is reset to the last hostname set outside NetworkManager or
'localhost' if none valid is there.
</para>
<para><literal>none</literal>: NetworkManager will not manage the transient
hostname and will never set it.
