So the bug here is that the error message is bad, not that we don't handle the case of a misconfigured /etc/hosts, right? Right, I didn't state that very clearly. The bug is that we don't explain this very well to the end user. IPA not installing properly with a mis-configured hosts file seems fine. Perhaps show what the /etc/hosts should look like. Created attachment 304902 [details]
include pointer to /etc/hosts for where to look to fix the problem

A routable IP address must be used. Check /etc/hosts to see if replica64.ipaqa.com is an alias for 127.0.0.1 |
