FINALLY!!
I can get it all to work by putting "fedora.local" in /etc/hostname _and_ editing /etc/hosts to have "fedora.local" as the _first_ name for 127.0.0.1 .
I installed a Centos7 system and during the install process called it fedora.local. By default this was placed in etc/hostname.
I did not add anything in the hosts file. I did make an entry for the host cos7 in the DNS to make it easier to contact. I also did not
make a reverse entry.
While yours is:
[fedora ~]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 fedora.local localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
Mine is
[root@fedora ~]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
With both of those in place, "dnsdomainname" and "nfsidmap -d" both return "local", and the mapping works.
Same here. No issues.
My problem is _not_ with the CentOS 7 server. That works just fine with an /etc/hosts file like yours.
It is the Fedora 35 client that needs the /etc/hosts modification to accept a domain name.
Now, why on Earth did I want to run Fedora anyway? Oh that's right, there was an application I wanted to try that was only available as a flatpak on CentOS 8, and flatpaks have their own level of pain. That's all water over the dam now.
I'm out of here. Thanks to all who offered help.
Happy all is well. Wondering why on earth you've not upgraded your systems to Centos8 :-) :-)
When I upgrade that server, it is _not_ going to be CentOS, probably Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux.
I have no idea what I'm going to use as my "daily driver" OS, perhaps something outside of the Red Hat family.
