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.

Description lcheng 2014-10-13 07:06:57 UTC 
Description of problem:
virsh net-edit should check commas in DNS TXT record name.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-1.2.8-5.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
[root@localhost ~]# firefox file:///usr/share/doc/libvirt-docs-1.2.8/html/formatnetwork.html#elementsAddress
...
dns
    txt
        ...names cannot contain embedded spaces or commas.


[root@localhost dnsmasq]# virsh net-edit default
error: prohibited space character in DNS TXT record name 'example redhat' of network default
Failed. Try again? [y,n,f,?]:
Network default XML configuration edited.

[root@localhost dnsmasq]# virsh net-dumpxml default
<network>
  <name>default</name>
  <uuid>31662273-8ae2-4443-85f0-6f46000e95fa</uuid>
  <forward mode='nat'/>
  <bridge name='virbr0' stp='on' delay='0'/>
  <mac address='52:54:00:93a:52'/>
  <dns>
    <forwarder addr='8.8.4.4'/>
    <txt name='example,redhat' value='test'/>
  </dns>
  <ip address='192.168.122.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
    <dhcp>
      <range start='192.168.122.2' end='192.168.122.254'/>
    </dhcp>
  </ip>
</network>

Actual results:
As description.

Expect result:
virsh net-edit should also check commas in DNS TXT record name.

    network_conf: Forbid commas in DNS TXT
    
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1151942
    
    While the restriction doesn't have origin in any RFC, it matters
    to us while constructing the dnsmasq config file (or command line
    previously). For better picture, this is how the corresponding
    part of network XML look like:
    
      <dns>
        <forwarder addr='8.8.4.4'/>
        <txt name='example' value='example value'/>
      </dns>
    
    And this is how the config file looks like then:
    
      server=8.8.4.4
      txt-record=example,example value
    
    Now we can see why there can't be any commas in the TXT name.
    They are used by dnsmasq to separate @name and @value.
    
    Funny, we have it in the documentation, but the code (which was
    pushed back in 2011) didn't reflect that.
