Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: david@dgreaves.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.10) Gecko/20100623 Iceweasel/3.5.10 (like Firefox/3.5.10) I want to change the hostname. I start YaST. I get Network Services->hostnames I change it and reboot. No joy. I read "man hostname" The host name is usually set [snip] by reading the contents of a file which contains the host name, e.g. /etc/hostname). /etc/hostname doesn't exist. /etc/HOSTNAME does. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: As above Actual Results: Yast -> Network Services -> hostnames => pretends to allow the hostname to be changed Expected Results: Yast -> Network Services -> hostnames => allows the hostname to be changed a grep shows that /etc/postfix/main.cf contains the old version of myhostname after changing /etc/HOSTNAME This is probably a bug in postfix -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
