Description of problem: Installation with localhost as the first entry in /etc/hosts presents problems with ipa* commands. Moving the FQDN to the first entry and the localhost entry down fixes this problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): v1.0 - could apply to other branches How reproducible: Install with localhost as first entry in /etc/hosts Steps to Reproduce: 1. "yum install" method 2. 3. Actual results: Uing kinit and klist works, but ipa* commands give an error with GSSAPI. Expected results: ipa* should not give an error back Additional info: Modifying /etc/hosts to have FQDN fixes ipa* problems. Documentation should reflect this, or the installation process should move these files around for the end user.
Add to both Installation Guide and Troubleshooting.
Added sub-section 2.4. Configuring the /etc/hosts File to the "Preparing for an IPA Installation" chapter in the Installation and Deployment Guide.
