the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
nmcli should add a 'hostname' command to the 'general' or 'networking' category. How about the following?
# nmcli g hostname
dcbw.foobar.com
# nmcli g hostname blah.it.com
#
Or something along those lines, using the nm_remote_settings_save_hostname() method in libnm-glib.
patch looks good. Not sure about Thomas's autocompletion support for it... presumably if you are setting the name, you're setting it to something new, so it doesn't make sense to autocomplete from anything...

True, I was thinking that too. But the chances are, that the new name will be somewhat similar and/or that is has the same domain.
Pushed to upstream master:
ce370fa cli: add bash-completion for 'nmcli general hostname'
79ac1cf cli: add support for getting/setting hostname to nmcli (rh #1018510)
I think the completion may be useful. Otherwise we can adapt/remove it later.
