From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: While writing /etc/hosts during installation, anaconda only writes a line with IP + FQDN into /etc/hosts. This causes DNS lookups for the unqualified hostname, and apparently prevents Rational Rose 2001 from running. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.(happens on installs where the network is configured) Actual Results: # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 1.2.3.4 lxcert03.cern.ch Expected Results: I would hope to have a line like 1.2.3.4 host.domain.com host in /etc/hosts Additional info: The small patch attached should fix this, but is untested. This is not a new problem, 7..9 did it as well.
Created attachment 93429 [details] patch to make ananconda write FQDN + hostname into /etc/hosts
Rational support link that acknowledges the problem: http://solutions.rational.com/solutions/display.jsp?solutionId=126035110
Did something similar (not the exact patch, but the desired outcome)
Mass-closing lots of old bugs which are in MODIFIED (and thus presumed to be fixed). If any of these are still a problem, please reopen or file a new bug against the release which they're occurring in so they can be properly tracked.
