Description Marko Myllynen 2016-10-26 17:57:08 UTC

Description of problem:
When no hostname is specified Anaconda sets up /etc/hosts correctly:

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

However in /etc/hostname there is:

localhost.localdomain

I think Anaconda should set hostname consistently by using localhost in /etc/hostname.

Comment 1 Marko Myllynen 2016-10-26 18:00:18 UTC

There's a corner case with cloud-init where this causes cloud-init to configure /etc/hostname wrongly:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1389048

cloud-init should not get confused by localhost.localdomain but still it would seem that using localhost consistently would be the right thing to do.

Thanks.
