Description Andreas Jaeger 2006-01-12 07:54:18 UTC
This is with factory from 2006-01-11, similar to preview4:

My hostname is set to "linux" using networkmanager, it is not set to the name received via dhcp.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 134160 ***
Comment 2 Jana Jaeger 2006-02-07 08:43:23 UTC
problem still persists in Beta3 of NLD10, no nis used as in the scenario of 134160

local user, no NIS, no NFS ... nothing fancy, but hostname is plain "linux"
Comment 3 Timo Hoenig 2006-02-07 08:51:34 UTC
Yes, we have recently discussed this on suse-network.

YaST currently does not provide any GUI bits to set the hostname (not manually, not using DHCP) if NM is enabled.  We definitly need this.

Chaning Summary.
Moving to Beta3.
Raising severity.
Comment 4 Timo Hoenig 2006-02-07 09:44:27 UTC
If NetworkManager is enabled we need to provide a dialog in YaST which contains the first box of the "Hostname and Name Server Configuration" of the "Detailed Settings/Hostname and Nameserver" dialog as found for the traditional setup.

This will give the user the ability to

  - set a custom hostname and (or) domainname
  - set hostname using DHCP as NetworkManager is already prepared to respect 
    DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME (/etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp)

Reassigning.

Andreas, OK to add the hostname dialog to the main workflow, like it is on SLES already?
