Description Matwey Kornilov 2016-02-03 08:50:12 UTC 
Hello,

I am running openSUSE 13.2 and YaST network settings module assigns hostname to 127.0.0.2 in /etc/hosts when "Assign hostname to Loopback IP" is selected.

As far as I understand, it is deprecated behaviour.

Could not find this entry in an freshly installed Tumbleweed here.
Maybe this is a leftover from previous installations you updated from?
Comment 2 Matwey Kornilov 2016-02-11 17:37:33 UTC 
On freshly installed Tumbleweed, "Assign hostname to Loopback IP" still adds 127.0.0.2 record to /etc/hosts
Comment 3 Imobach Gonzalez Sosa 2016-02-12 17:08:19 UTC 
The hostname is added only if you set it explicitly (using the "Assign hostname to loopback IP" option you mentioned). The original problem is that it was added by default. Now it's not.

Should we remove the option from the GUI? I'm not sure about it. Michal, could you comment, please?
Comment 4 Stefan Hundhammer 2016-03-02 13:59:52 UTC 
Moving to Trello for further tracking. Any fixes will most likely be against Tumbleweed or Leap, though; I don't think there will be a backport to 13.2.

looks like the trello card is not public ...

yes, trello cards are used only to organize work of members of YaST team whose are paid by SUSE
Comment 9 Tomáš Chvátal 2018-04-12 14:08:10 UTC 
This version of openSUSE changed to end-of-life (EOL [1]) status. As such
it is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates.
As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
openSUSE, or consider the bug still valid, please feel free to reopen this
bug against that version, or open a new ticket.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed
during the lifetime of the release.
