hostname (3.03ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low * Merging from Debian Testing, remaining changes: - Install Upstart job to set hostname on startup, but do not run it in postinst. - Build-depend on newer debhelper for Upstart-aware dh_installinit. -- Vikram Dhillon dhillon...@gmail.com Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:00:50 + hostname (3.03) unstable; urgency=low * Do not use buffer on error return.

[Bug 52335] Re: /bin/hostname complains about but still sets invalid hostname
Requirements for hostname are as follow: ASCII letters 'a' through 'z' (case-insensitive), the digits '0' through '9' and the hyphen. Hostname labels cannot begin or end with a hyphen. No other symbols, punctuation characters, or blank spaces are permitted. The length is between 1 and 63 characters. Refer to RFC1034, 1035 and 2181. Refer to bug 193054 which fixed a similar problem in another package I have performed a new installation in a VirtualBox using Intrepid. The installer program checks the hostname according to the rules above. The text of the error message, when an invalid hostname is entered, is wrong. It states that the length should be between 2 and 63. RFC 1034 states that Each node has a label, which is zero to 63 octets in length. and that One label is reserved, and that the null (i.e., zero length) label used for the root. The installer allows me to set a hostname with just one letter, which is correct. Thanks for reporting this bug. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better! ** Changed in: hostname (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- /bin/hostname complains about but still sets invalid hostname https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/52335 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 52335] Re: /bin/hostname complains about but still sets invalid hostname
I decided to look into the source code: http://package-
import.ubuntu.com/h/hostname/intrepid/annotate/head%3A/hostname.c
169 if (!check_name(name))
170 warnx(the specified hostname is
invalid);
171
172 if (sethostname(name, strlen(name))) {
I'm not really a c expert but this looks like to me that it checks if
the hostname is correct but after the error message it just continues to
set the hostname no matter what.

This is still an issue in Intrepid.
