Description Orion Poplawski 2011-09-28 21:40:48 UTC
Description of problem:

After install, /etc/dhcp/dhclient-em1.conf is present with:
send vendor-class-identifier "anaconda-Linux 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.3.fc16.i686 i686";

as the contents.  I don't think this should be there post install.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
16.19

From bug #476364 I understood that we want the identifier to be present on installed system as well. See also commit http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=anaconda.git;a=commit;h=5a97cd9db04ba482521d4a673a7897e4a7bebac0

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2011-10-07 14:26:19 UTC
In bug 476364, the person doing the install is passing in dhcpclass= on the boot line and expecting that to be transferred to the installed system.  In this case this is just the default.  But I'm fine with this being NOTABUG, I just thought it strange for an installed system to be using configuration info that seemed only relevant during installation.  But perhaps "anaconda-Linux" is useful afterwards as well.

Good point, I have no strong opinion about using the default option also on installed system. Although I don't know if anyone is actually using it post install (I don't think so), and it really seems to make sense only during installation, I'd prefer not to change the behaviour which doesn't appear to cause any problems. So I am closing as NOTABUG if you are fine with it.
