Shortly: I would really rather that widely-used software stuck to the basic RFC conventions as much as possible. More discussion: I'm really curious to know know what your "various reasons" are. If you have a special requirement for oddly shaped hostnames I sympathize with you, since I imagine that it's because of some vendor or manager with very special ideas about the world. Possibly you'd be better off sending a patch that people can use to set a configuration option in puppet.conf to see your unique hostname requirement behaviour. RFC-952 has this to say about periods: 'Note that periods are only allowed when they serve to delimit components of "domain style names".' http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc952 For instance, to my knowledge: bob.office.division.company.com (fully qualified domain name) bob (hostname, the actual computer's name) office.division.company.com (domain) bob.office.division (partially qualified domain name, so I've heard) > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > > References > > Visible links > 1. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9766 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
