Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A
Severity: normal
Hi,
I tried to append the info in this report to #50014, but the BTS
didn't like that, so I am just submitting a new report.
I recently did a clean install using boot floppies 2.2.16, ie,
same as 2.2r0. When the network was being configured, I entered
the hostname as `eden-hda7', and the domain as `my.local'.
After I re-booted, and completed the install, I noticed that the
hostname was incorrect. What is strange is that the hosts,
mailname and resolv.conf files were setup correctly, while the
hostname file was not.
Here is the contents of these files,
3 jeff ~ $ co -p1.1 /etc/hostname
/etc/RCS/hostname,v --> standard output
revision 1.1
eden-hda7
4 jeff ~ $ co -p1.1 /etc/mailname
co: /etc/RCS/mailname,v: No such file or directory
5 jeff ~ $ cat /etc/mailname
eden-hda7.my.local
6 jeff ~ $ co -p1.1 /etc/resolv.conf
/etc/RCS/resolv.conf,v --> standard output
revision 1.1
nameserver 127.0.0.1
search my.local
nameserver 207.172.3.8
nameserver 207.172.3.9
8 jeff ~ $ co -p1.1 /etc/hosts
/etc/RCS/hosts,v --> standard output
revision 1.1
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.22 eden-hda7.my.local eden-hda7
Thanks,
