Package: fai
Version: 2.8.4
Good day,
I want to report two problems with fai, the first one of which I
consider 'important', the second one a nuissance, which could
nevertheless ruin ones day.
The bug: "ftar -1" doesn't work and aborts!
This comes from missing '[...]' brackets around the "$single"
in line 47 of /usr/sbin/ftar
( # if option -1 is set, only one class will be used
[ $single ] && exit 0
)
The nuissance: When there is no further action of altering
the /etc/hosts-file in s fai 'softupdate', a new line containing
the hostname is appended everytime, for me even an invalid one,
because the IP-address variable "$IPADDR" is not set.
The source of this is the line
echo -e "$IPADDR\t$HOSTNAME.$DOMAIN $HOSTNAME" >>$FAI_ROOT/etc/hosts
in the 'task_prepareapt ()' function in
/usr/share/fai/subroutines-linux.
I've no proper fix for that, as I don't know in what regard it would
interfere with 'normal' operation, but I suggest to execute this
statemen and thus append this line to /etc/hosts only in the case
of a fai 'install', not a fai 'softupdate'.
Thanks for a good product,
Ruediger Oberhage
