Description Peter Trenholme 2009-05-25 14:44:57 UTC

Description of problem:
Hostname in /etc/sysconfig/network is not set to the value entered during the installation from the prerelease live CD

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


How reproducible:
Every time I've tried it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Burn LiveCD
2. Select "Install to HD
3. Enter a hostname when prompted
  
Actual results:
/bin/hostname returns localhost.localdomain

Expected results:
/bin/hostname returns entered string

Additional info:
Changing the HOSTNAME= value in /etc/sysconfig/network fixes the problem

Comment 1 David Cantrell 2009-06-04 03:05:34 UTC

Confirmed that commit 5ebb7235d36390fa72faa730c1f5a452e3432eb1 fixes this problem.  The hostname entered during installation is written to the HOSTNAME= line in /etc/sysconfig/network.

This fix is present in anaconda-11.5.0.50-1 and later builds.

The hostname of the running system is not altered by anaconda.  The hostname you enter is written to /etc/sysconfig/network on the target system.
