https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1231278 Bug ID: 1231278 Summary: [doc] Domain name system Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.6 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Documentation Assignee: fs@suse.com Reporter: psikodad@gmx.de QA Contact: fs@suse.com Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- Domain name system: https://doc.opensuse.org/projects/autoyast/#CreateProfile-Network-DNS The description of field <hostname> is probably not true anymore: "If a host name is not specified and is not taken from a DHCP server (see dhcp_hostname), AutoYaST will generate a random host name. " I did some tests and the hostname is always "install", when the parameter is omitted. Here are my three tests:  <networking t="map">    <dns t="map">      <dhcp_hostname t="boolean">false</dhcp_hostname>      <resolv_conf_policy>auto</resolv_conf_policy>    </dns>    <ipv6 t="boolean">true</ipv6>    <keep_install_network t="boolean">true</keep_install_network>    <managed t="boolean">true</managed>        </networking> => Hostname is "install"  <networking t="map">    <dns t="map">      <dhcp_hostname t="boolean">false</dhcp_hostname>      <resolv_conf_policy>auto</resolv_conf_policy>    </dns>    <ipv6 t="boolean">true</ipv6>    <keep_install_network t="boolean">true</keep_install_network>    <backend>wicked</backend>  </networking> => Hostname is "install"  <networking t="map">    <dns t="map">      <dhcp_hostname t="boolean">true</dhcp_hostname>      <resolv_conf_policy>auto</resolv_conf_policy>    </dns>       <ipv6 t="boolean">true</ipv6>  </networking> => Hostname is "install" As you can see the hostname is never random as the autoyast documentation says. Sidenote: When you do a normal (interactive) installation of openSUSE up to version Leap 15.1 the hostname is random: starting with linux- and followed by 4 random letters like linux-akec. Since Leap 15.2 the default hostname is "localhost" (or localhost.localdomain) [I'm not 100 % sure at which version the behavior changed.] -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
