Package: hostname
Version: 3.04
Severity: normal
In case there is space at end of hostname name in /etc/hostname,the hostname
will be set to (none) after next boot
If space is present at end of line in /etc/hostname,then
/etc/init.d/hostname.sh
will report
# /etc/init.d/hostname.sh
hostname: the specified hostname is invalid
Possible solution:
In /etc/init.d/hostname.sh is there in function do_start()
do_start () {
[ -f /etc/hostname ] && HOSTNAME="$(cat /etc/hostname)"
--- (rest of hostname.sh) ---
If
[ -f /etc/hostname ] && HOSTNAME="$(cat /etc/hostname)"
is changed to
[ -f /etc/hostname ] && HOSTNAME="$(cat /etc/hostname | sed 's/^[ \t]*//;s/[
\t]*$//')"
then trailing space in line in /etc/hostname will be removed,and
/etc/init.d/hostname.sh will
not report above error
