1.)
I just built out a brand new machine with LucidLynx Release Candidate and
updated to the latest packages and rebooted.
So this is a virgin system. ( i haven't edited a thing.)
2.)
Here is the result of this set of commands:
$ hostname; hostname -f; hostname -s; hostname -i
machine69
machine69
machine69
127.0.1.1
$ sudo ifconfig -a
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:21:70:53:d3:77
inet addr:164.179.215.77 Bcast:164.179.215.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
>From another machine in the network: $ nslookup machine69
machine69.DOMAIN.com
164.179.215.77
>From my point of view,
I clearly have an IP address, so `hostname -i` is wrong.
I clearly am in DNS in the network with a FQDN, so `hostname -f` is wrong.
(not sure what I think what just `hostname` should output at this time.)
3.)
If I edit /etc/hostname, and change machine69 to "machine69.DOMAIN.com"
and run `sudo hostname machine69.DOMAIN.com`, I should be able to influence
both the `hostname` and `hostname -f` command.
$ hostname; hostname -f; hostname -s; hostname -i
machine69.DOMAIN.com
machine69
machine69
127.0.1.1
So at least `hostname` has been "fixed", but `hostname -f` and `hostname
-i` still broken.
4.)
I will run `apport-collect -p linux 501130` after this posting.
5.)
the hostname, "machine69" and domain name "DOMAIN" has been changed from the
real names in this posting.
6.)
Does anyone agree with me about what `hostname -f` and `hostname -i` should
output?
7.)
And does anyone else show the same lack of output from the hostname commands?
** Tags added: apport-collected
** Description changed:
On LucidLynx (with all the current updated), while connected to my company's
internal network,
when I run this:
hostname; hostname -f; hostname -s; hostname -i
I get this:
machine15
machine15
machine15
127.0.1.1
What I expect to get (as compared to being on HardyHeron) is this:
machine15.domain.com
machine15.domain.com
machine15
<actual IP address>
From a default installation of LucidLynx, I have changed /etc/hostname
from just the short name (machine15) to the long hostname
(machine15.domain.com).
This is all I needed to do to make the above hostname commands provide the
desired output on a HardyHeron installation.
The machines, when they boot up get assigned an IP address correctly and are
registered
correctly in DNS. (meaning `nslookup machine15` returns a valid entry of:
Name: machine15.domain.com
Address: <actual ip address that also corresponds to output of `ifconfig`>
- (I purposely have changed my machine name and domain name in the above
- write up)
