I think it is worth mentioning there that the /etc/hosts entry is added in the beginning only if the hostname is not resolvable and IP address is passed by the user, i.e. only when the following line printed: # ipa-server-install --setup-dns (or --no-host-dns) ... Please provide the IP address to be used for this host name: 10.16.78.50 Adding [10.16.78.50 ipa.example.com] to your /etc/hosts file ... I saw that 1931 should be solved by a new custom hostname parameter passed to bind-dyndb-ldap plugin. I did some additional testing of my proposed patch 140 and it behaved fine. It is able to catch misconfigured /etc/hosts in both following ways: 1) invalid hostname for given IP address 1.2.3.4 foo or short name first: 1.2.3.4 foo foo.example.com To sum this up - I think the patch is ready for review.
