Description Andreas Schneider 2008-11-03 14:59:54 UTC

I've installed Beta4 today on my notebook (new installation). NetworkManager always sets the hostname to 'linux'.

It took me some time to find /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf which is was modified by /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-opensuse-sysconfig-merge.

The contetnt of /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf is:

----------------------------
[main]
plugins=keyfile

[keyfile]
hostname=linux

[suse]
hostname-merged=true
----------------------------

nm-opensuse-sysconfig-merge can never correct the 'hostname' value cause 'hostname-merged=true' is set.

Why doesn't NetworkManager respect /etc/HOSTNAME?

This breaks really many things.
Please /etc/HOSTNAME as default instead to provide own defaults.
