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.

Fixed In Version: ipa-2.1.0-1.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: When setting up DNS a reverse zone was always created regardless of the --no-reverse option when installing in interactive mode. Consequence: A zone was being created that the user did not want. Fix: Create a reverse zone only if either it was asked for interactively or on the command-line. Result: The reverse DNS zone is not created when the user specifies either --no-reverse or answers no in the interactive installer.

Comment 4 Namita Soman 2011-04-28 12:11:14 UTC 
Not seeing this issue any more when using ipa-server-2.0.0-22.el6.x86_64. Did this get addressed?
Comment 5 Rob Crittenden 2011-04-28 12:54:16 UTC 
No, it isn't fixed upstream yet either. Note that this only happened in interactive mode.
