Yes indeed, I was the one that brought up reinstalling 2 of our hosts.

I have a deadline, so there is no choice. Those are 2 management hosts we
need.
Also I never got a request, "please, this looks intriguing for us at well"
....
I could have reinstalled right away instead of trying to debug the ipa
registration process. But all my other 99% similar hosts registered without
a problem.....
We lost precious time also because I had to explain that the engineer was
looking in the wrong direction. Not something a customer should do (!).

But I am still interested in what happened and in IPA in general, hope
there is nothing wrong with that?

Thats why I also submitted some limited information to the mailinglist.  It
is not the first time a mailinglist or IRC is more direct.... instead of
going to several support people first.

As demanded I provided an strace as well, and it was clear that the
freeipa-client-install was hanging at the point as explained before.

No explanations from logs and traces IMO.
The only thing that was changed on those 2 hosts was the hostname - but
BEFORE the install of the client. Which was also misunderstood by the
way....
