https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447038 Summary: yast2 lan trashes hostname settings in /etc/hosts and /etc/HOSTNAME Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta 5 Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: gfarrell@netspeed.com.au QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Community User Started YaST-> Network Device-> Network Settings (using NetworkManager method). Saw hostname and domain name greyed out (ie, couldn't be edited), so exited - but pressed 'OK' in error. The hostname settings in these two files then changed to: /etc/hosts: '127.0.0.2 -f -f' /etc/HOSTNAME: '-f' Since the hostname and domain name were greyed out, the default behaviour should have been to preserve what was set there, even if 'OK' was selected. Alternatively, if setting is for NetworkManager to control networking, and not YaST, then the default behaviour, even if 'OK' is selected, should be to do nothing. That is, if NetworkManager is in control, ignore YaST unless 'ifup' method is selected. The 'hostname' command reported the correct hostname, as set before entering YaST: # hostname MyHostname -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
