Subject: base: Error in setting /etc/hostname and /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.2.6.1
Package: base
Version: 19991112
Severity: normal
During the installation, one is asked for 'hostname' and
'domainname'. One is expected to give a hostname of the form 'debian'
and some domainname. The hostname then ends up in /etc/hostname and
/proc/sys/kernel/hostname.
This is wrong, and makes at least zsh and hostname break.
Explanation:
/proc/sys/kernel/domainname is _not_ a part of the system's FQDN, it is
the NIS/YP domainname.
/proc/sys/kernel/hostname should be the FQDN of the host. This is were
hostname looks for the FQDN and zsh finds host information for for
example the prompt, etc.
