--- Comment #40 from Ludwig Nussel
To summarize a solution that should not conflict with anything:
* For automatic configuration, YaST should create a random hostname domain should be 'local'. We might use some dictionary for random hostname :) (+ some additional chars)
That .local needs testing though. As I said it may introduce delays as well. Esp since the firewall of course blocks mdns by default.
* $hostname and $hostname.local should be written to /etc/hosts with address 127.0.0.1 (.2 conflicts with AD). * AD should be fixed to use the external hostname, not the internal one.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean but if the problems with AD stuff are due to usage of gethostbyname() to learn about external IP addresses your suggestion won't change anything. -- 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.
