Description Jan Hutař 2013-04-12 15:02:16 UTC

Description of problem:
When I specify hostname in /etc/hostname which is different than hostname registration code detects it should be used (same as /etc/sysconfig/network in RHEL).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhn-client-tools-1.6.46-2.fc17.noarch
rhnlib-2.5.49-2.fc17.noarch


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set hostname to something != your fqdn in /etc/hostname and use `hostname` command to set that hostname in your shell
2. Run rhn-profile-sync and make sure your hostname in RHN Satellite changes


Actual results:
I still see mine fqdn instead of string set in /etc/hostname returned by client.system.getNetwork()['hostname']


Expected results:
Hostname should be set to what is in /etc/hostname


Additional info:
This behavior is in due to bug 457953.

Okay, so: it's not `hostname`, it just running hostname.

And, it's not just running hostname, it's running hostname with a parameter. So, kinda like

  hostname `cat /etc/hostname`
