A problem is that for the very simplest of configurations (a system with
one single hardwired interface that doesn't roam), NM does not work. At
all. I have a humble collection of about 30 Fedora machines in my
business; four of them are F9 and the rest are earlier versions. I have no
Linux laptops at all; nearly all of the several hundred boxes that I have
managed are of this simple configuration. NM does not work in this
situation; the hostname never gets set.
I've probably misunderstood completely,
but doesn't it get the hostname from /etc/sysconfig/network ?
Yes, it does, if the hostname is set there. But the point is that it is
not acceptable to have to set it there. If I am configuring a whole bunch
of similar machines, I want /etc/sysconfig/network to be identical on all
of them. Imagine the situation where I am installing a set of virtual
machines: I build it once, and then clone the image. If the image contains
any information that identifies the machine, it's now wrong for all of the
clones.
