Description Mark Christiansen 2008-05-19 21:47:51 UTC
Description of problem:

Installation with localhost as the first entry in /etc/hosts presents problems
with ipa* commands.  Moving the FQDN to the first entry and the localhost entry
down fixes this problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

v1.0 - could apply to other branches

How reproducible:

Install with localhost as first entry in /etc/hosts

Steps to Reproduce:
1. "yum install" method
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

Uing kinit and klist works, but ipa* commands give an error with GSSAPI.

Expected results:

ipa* should not give an error back

Additional info:

Modifying /etc/hosts to have FQDN fixes ipa* problems.  Documentation should
reflect this, or the installation process should move these files around for the
end user.

Comment 1 David O'Brien 2008-05-20 02:36:37 UTC
Add to both Installation Guide and Troubleshooting.

Comment 4 David O'Brien 2008-05-22 15:48:56 UTC
Added sub-section 2.4. Configuring the /etc/hosts File to the "Preparing for an
IPA Installation" chapter in the Installation and Deployment Guide.
