Description Chris Kloiber 2001-10-21 00:42:59 UTC 
Description of Problem:

redhat-config-network will not allow me to set the hostname of the machine
to a name containing a '-' character ie:

x200-C.support.redhat.com

It won't let you set it in the alias field either.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

redhat-config-network-0.9-1

Will look into it.
Comment 2 Nils Philippsen 2001-10-26 09:00:36 UTC 
You can set a hostname with an underscore. I guess there is an input filter
which filters dashes (which are RFC-conformant) instead of underscores (which
aren't).

Comment 4 Nils Philippsen 2001-10-26 09:23:21 UTC 
The unpatched filters also take the pipe character '|' as input, the patch
fixes this as well.
