Hi,
When troubleshooting what I thought was an NFS4 issue, I have found what looks
to be a bug in ipa-client-install.
On a CentOS 5.8 machine, I ran
ipa-client-install --no-ntp --force --hostname=kelvin-c5.dnsdomainname
and successfully bound to the domain.
I am now trying to get nfs4 up and running, and found that idmapd was not
starting. I traced that back to an empty /etc/sysconfig/network file, and
ipa-client-install looks to be the cause.
[root@kelvin-c5 ~]# ls -al /etc/sysconfig/network /etc/sysconfig/network.orig
/var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore/*-network
-rw--- 1 root root 0 Apr 13 11:58 /etc/sysconfig/network
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54 Aug 12 2011 /etc/sysconfig/network.orig
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54 Aug 12 2011
/var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore/477d00fd6ff85634-network
I looked back on another CentOS 5 machine we have, and the same problem exists
there.
I was surprised to see that most network services were working when the file
was empty. It turns out that many network services start properly with an
empty /etc/sysconfig/network file, but some do not. It appears to be down to
the structure of the test in the init scripts; e.g.
[ ${NETWORKING} = no ] exit 0
vs.
[ ${NETWORKING} != yes ] exit 6
So, is this a bug in ipa-client-install?
Can I just copy my network.orig back into place in order to get rpcidmapd and
friends to run correctly?
Yes, it should be safe to copy that file back. What we try to do is
ensure that the hostmae provided to ipa-client-install is reflected in
/etc/sysconfig/networking.
What rpm version of ipa-client-install are you using?

Hmm, strange. I don't think this is specific to el5, you were just the
lucky contestant to find this bug. Can you provide the contents of the
original network file? It is probable that our replacement function
isn't doing the right thing.

The hostname is not a FQDN because we are growing from an environment where the

Some info that may help reproducing the issue:
On that host, I found that dnsdomainname was returning nothing, which is
unusual in our environment.
It turned out that was because the bare hostname (kelvin-c5) was in the
/etc/hosts for 127.0.0.1. This was different than other machines we have, and
deleting the kelvin-c5 from the 127.0.0.1 entry actually made dnsdomainname
work again.
