Bug#606636: Reverse DNS takes precedence over netcfg/get_hostname
Package: netcfg
Version: 1.46
The value specified using "netcfg/get_hostname" seems to be ignored, if a
reverse DNS entry is present for the IP-address of the server being installed.
Seems to be a bit similar to this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544513 (dhcp returned hostname take precedence on
netcfg/get_hostname)
Except in my case it seems the reverse DNS hostname is used, instead of the
DHCP hostname.
I think netcfg/get_hostname should take precendence over everything else.
Yours sincerely,
Floris Bos
