hello - i don't have cycles to spend debugging this now, but it appears that in fai 5.3 a dirinstall is changing the hostname on the host system again. verified that 5.3.2 has this issue, 5.1.2 does not. unsure exactly where/when it was introduced.
on a somewhat related note (involving dirinstalls) i was curious about the change where the $LOGSERVER variable was moved from fai.conf to the configuration space (as noted in http://wiki.fai-project.org/wiki/Variables). in a typical dirinstall this is not used ($LOGUSER is unset in `/usr/lib/fai/subroutines`). but there are situations where the system is unable to get the config space, in which case fai tries to save the logs for a "noaction" event. since $LOGSERVER is in the configspace, it falls back to $SERVER which is not going to work (for our setup). i guess the question is whether it could be moved back to fai.conf or if there was a pressing need for it to be relocated. minor issue, though. thanks! andy -- andrew bezella <abeze...@archive.org> Internet Archive
