i still have issue with the facter 1.5.1/2 on my freebsd boxes. It seems
unable to find the 'domain' any more. I finish by taking the domain from
the 'search' parameter in the resolv.conf wich is not good at all for me.
i browsed the code and i cannot find significant differences between the
1.5.0 and 1.5.2 for determining the hostname.
I see that facter use the 'hostname' command to get the hostname. Would
it be better to use:
require "socket"
Socket.gethostname
as it is pure ruby and does not involve an external program ?
Also in facter 1.5.2 if i modify the hostname code from:
if name =~ /^([\w-]+)\.(.+)$/
hostname = $1
# the Domain class uses this
$domain = $2
else
hostname = name
end
to
if name =~ /^([\w-]+)\.(.+)$/
hostname = $1
# the Domain class uses this
$domain = 'mydomain.net'
else
hostname = name
end
(see i assign $domain a static value) facter still do not report the
domain name as mydomain.net and continue to look in /etc/resolv.conf.
It seems the domain value do not return to the domain.rb file when
called in hostname.rb or that it is overwritten. If i remove the part
that search the resolv.conf then it work again. This part seems to
ovverride the first one, eash call of Facter.add(:domain) overwrite the
one that is just before it it seems.
Also in the facter code in (lib/facter/domain.rb) resolv.conf part it
take the comments instead of just ignore them, if i comment the search
line it still use it:
if line =~ /search\s+(\S+)/
value = $1
break
end
the regex do not filter comments. should be something like
if line =~ /^\s*search\s+(\S+)/
value = $1
break
end
From the resolv.conf manual i have :
search Search list for host-name lookup. The search list is nor-
mally determined from the local domain name; by default, it
contains only the local domain name. This may be
changed by
listing the desired domain search path following the search
keyword with spaces or tabs separating the names. Most
resolver queries will be attempted using each component of
the search path in turn until a match is found. Note that
this process may be slow and will generate a lot of network
traffic if the servers for the listed domains are not
local,
and that queries will time out if no server is
available for
one of the domains.
therefor how can this be used to have the hostname ? Or this should
refer to the default hostname as returned by host or this is nothing
related to it therefor it seems that this part is not usefull at all ?
