In RHEL 3 Update 3 (Anaconda 9.1.3-3), I specify:
network --bootproto static --ip 64.102.x.x --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 64.102.x.x --nameserver 64.102.x.x --hostname foo --device eth0
Anaconda puts the short hostname "foo" on the 127.0.0.1 localhost line
in /etc/hosts.
When I specify --hostname foo.cisco.com, anaconda adds a new line
to /etc/hosts with the proper IP address. I've resorted to always using
FDQN and in %post I strip the domainname out of /etc/sysconfig/network
so `hostname` returns "foo".
Why does Anaconda behave in this manner? You would think it would
always add the new line to /etc/hosts when static IP is specified.
