I am not seeing this here. Could you give me an example of the IP
address that this happens with. IE
> host 209.132.177.50 | sed 's/.* \(.*\)./\1/'
www.redhat.com
When you run "host" manually, it does this: [root@gatekeeper root]# host 192.168.200.200 200.200.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer violet.fma.co.za. It seems text chopping magic leaves the dot on the end of the sentence intact. The host app version is as follows: [root@gatekeeper root]# which host /usr/bin/host [root@gatekeeper root]# rpm -q -f /usr/bin/host bind-utils-9.2.4-EL3_10 In my version of "disklessrc" the hostname is extracted in the following line: hostname `host $IP | cut -f 5 -d ' '` Is this from an older version of netboot, perhaps? Yup. ftp://people.redhat.com/dwalsh/netboot has the latest. Will be in U4 However this code is not in the greatest of shape. :^( Dan |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040925 Description of problem: In the disklessrc script, some text cutting magic is used to extract the hostname from the IP address of the machine, as reported using the "host" command. The problem is that the result of the cutting process produces a hostname terminated with a dot, instead of just a hostname, like so: hostname.example.com. ^--- extra dot This causes problems with Gnome, which complains that the hostname of the machine is not found.
