[Bug 383336] resolving hostname is extremely slow

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=383336 User lmuelle@novell.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=383336#c37 --- Comment #37 from Lars Müller 2008-05-06 04:33:08 MST --- And $RANDOM is already suggested as hostname. At least has this been the case in the past and must be the case in the future. Else system no. 1 joins a Microsoft Domain, the required machine account with a name based on the host name is created. Later system no. 2 joins the Microsoft Domain too and overwrites the existing machine account of system no. 1 as both have the same name. That had been the reason to generate a random, not to short host name. -- 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.
