Description Peter Ondrejka 2017-08-14 13:44:19 UTC

Description of problem:

Currently when changing hostname without specifying username and password:

# katello-change-hostname -y newname
/usr/sbin/katello-change-hostname:191:in `precheck': undefined local variable or method `opt_parser' for main:Object (NameError)
	from /usr/sbin/katello-change-hostname:212:in `<main>'

or

# ]# katello-change-hostname  newname
***WARNING*** This script will modify your system. You will need to re-register any satellite clients registered to this system after script completion. Foreman Proxies will have to be re-registered and reinstalled. If you are using custom certificates, you will have to run the satellite-installer again with custom certificate options after this script completes. Have you taken the necessary precautions (backups, snapshots, etc...) and want to proceed with changing your hostname? 
 [y/n]:/usr/sbin/katello-change-hostname:191:in `precheck': undefined local variable or method `opt_parser' for main:Object (NameError)
	from /usr/sbin/katello-change-hostname:212:in `<main>'


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.3 snap 11

Expected results:
Some user-friendly message asking user to pass -u and -p options. Possibly, in the interactive mode katello-change-hostname could ask for credentials just after the [y/n] dialog
