Description Santiago Erquicia 2003-09-28 00:59:54 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703
Epiphany/1.0

Description of problem:
When I try to enter a new host (because I was changing the name of the machine),
it asks the required information but when I add everything nothing happens.

When I try to close the application it asks if I want to save the changes.

After doing this by hand, editing /etc/hosts, it redhat-config-network doesn't
show what /etc/hosts says

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-config-network-1.3.6-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open redhat-config-network
2.add a new host
3.press ok after entering the required information
    

Actual Results:  nothing happens (I don't know if the changes are made but it
doesn't show them)

Expected Results:  The information entered is shown in the application

Additional info:

Comment 1 Santiago Erquicia 2003-09-28 01:15:41 UTC
I am checking right now that after I made the changes at /etc/sysconfig/network
to change my hostname, redhat-config-network doesn't update it.  It keeps saying
localhost.localdomain, and when I try to close the application it asks about
applying the changes although this time I didn't anyone within the application

Comment 2 Dave Habben 2003-10-10 14:49:57 UTC
Works for me with an updated redhat-config-network:
redhat-config-network-1.3.7-1

Care to try again with the updated version? Otherwise this should probably be
marked as RAWHIDE/CLOSED


Comment 3 Santiago Erquicia 2003-10-10 15:04:42 UTC
It keeps the same way with the updated redhat-config-network (1.3.7-1).

My /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/hosts says
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain	localhost
127.0.0.1	argentina	

And nothing shows it the hosts tab under the application.  I did that by hand.

Comment 4 Dave Habben 2003-10-10 15:29:14 UTC
There is code in this file that intentionally skips 127.0.0.1 addresses:
/usr/share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/maindialog.py

for host in prof.HostsList:
  #88357
  if host.IP == "127.0.0.1":
      continue

I tried commenting that out and it displayed the 127.0.0.1 addresses correctly,
I'm thinking this is probably by design.
