s-c-network-tui let you set hostname to anything
Last modified: 2017-03-30 07:31:19 EDT
Description of problem: We have testHostname() function in package but s-c-network-tui is not using it to check if typed hostname is valid. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.3-2.el6.noarch How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set hostname to "#$%^&" Actual results: Everything looks ok and it sets the hostname Expected results: It should not let you do this. Additional info: We already have proper testHostname() function, which was fixed in BZ#773099
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 shipped it's last Production 2 phase minor release, RHEL 6.9, on March 21, 2016. On May 10, 2017, RHEL 6 exits Production 2 phase and moves into Production 3 phase. For RHEL releases in Production 3 phase, Red Hat will provide critical-impact security fixes and urgent priority bug fixes for the last minor release but will not provide any software enhancements or hardware enablement. This BZ does not appear to meet the Product 3 phase inclusion criteria described above so is being closed WONTFIX. If this BZ is critical for your environment, please open a case in the Red Hat Customer Portal, https://access.redhat.com, provide a thorough business justification and ask that the BZ be re-opened for consideration. Please note, only critical-impact security fixes and urgent priority bug fixes will be considered, and no software enhancements or hardware enablement will be performed.
