This bugreport is a follow-up. The behaviour on 13.1 is interesting[tm]: After a fresh install, there's only /etc/HOSTNAME (owned by netcfg package), but no /etc/hostname: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13 21 nov 16:05 /etc/HOSTNAME When calling "hostnamectl set-hostname ein.host.name", the result is -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14 14. Jan 20:49 /etc/hostname lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 14. Jan 20:49 /etc/HOSTNAME -> /etc/hostname This doesn't break anything, but is at least confusing. Can you please sort out what the correct filename is? ;-) Frederic, I'm assigning this to you (like the old bug) because the primary issue is in hostnamectl. If you think other parts (installation?) need to be changed, please reassign as needed. -- 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.
