Afaik, NetworkManager already reads system-wide /etc/HOSTNAME, it must be fixed in some of the recent betas
Yes, it was fixed in bug #440809 for Beta 5.
If you ever happened to see '127.0.0.1 localhost linux.site localhost.localdomain' line in /etc/hosts, it's been added there by NetworkManager. Here I don't know if NM still does it in this form, or if it just uses a real hostname instead of 'linux.site', neverthless, modifying 127.0.0.1 entry was never done by YaST.
Yes, I can see that happening when I restart network services when NetworkManager is in charge (with Beta 5). However, mixing localhost and hostname in the 127.0.0.1 line doesn't seem logical; but that needs further investigation, which might require a separate bug report in the 'network' category. But, from what I can glean from your supplied information, YaST-> Network Devices-> Network Services is clear of any buggy behaviour in relation to hostname. So as I see it, this bug can be closed. -- 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.
