Hi,
I have several machines running CentOS 6.2 and a strange problem with the hostname of one machine... After every reboot it loses the fqdn hostname.
Here is my confguration:
ifconfig | grep "inet addr" inet addr:10.0.0.12 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
/etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=x800.mydomain.local GATEWAY=10.0.0.1
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4
localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6
localhost6.localdomain6
10.0.0.12 x800.mydomain.local x800
... after a reboot:
hostname x800.mydomain.local < OK
hostname -f hostname: Unknown host < NOT OK
dnsdomainname dnsdomainname: Unknown host < NOT OK
If I set the hostname manually:
hostname x800.mydomain.local
hostname -f x800.mydomain.local < OK
dnsdomainname mydomain.local < OK
Everything is okay ...
Something I've never experienced before. Does anyone have an idea?
thx

When I strace hostname -f I see it checking with my name server. Are your 2 systems set up differently with respect to name resolution
and/or DNS?
I have 5 systems with the same DNS configuration. (name servers in /etc/resolv.conf)
It seems that /etc/hosts is ignored.. on this system only. But I do not know why :(

Chris,
verify the config in your /etc/nsswitch.conf
