Files such as /etc/machine-info have an incompatibility with systemd in regards to how it writes and/or parses them. Take the following sample:
PRETTY_HOSTNAME="\'\"\$\`\\" Systemd will translate this to: '"$`\ However, the shells bash and dash will translate this to: \'"$`\ So, it appears to be that systemd is escaping single quotes when the shells themselves do not honor it for single quotes here. Thoughts for a solution? I ask because I have to write some systemd config files for a distro installer, and cannot use hostnamectl yet. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
