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:
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
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
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.
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.
