>Number: 16584 >Category: conf >Synopsis: Hostname field too small during install (dhcp) >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Tue Feb 8 08:20:01 PST 2000 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Dirk-Willem van Gulik <dirkx@webweaving.org> >Release: FreeBSD 4-current >Organization: WebWeaving consultancy >Environment: General 4-current install using DHCP >Description: When using dhcp (or in general) if the host name is long (say 15 char's or more) which is rather common, the Hostname: and Domain: fields in the ifconfig display during install are initially empty. Only when you type tab do they reveal their contents. If you actually start entering info though - you screw up the settings in a way which is not visible. >How-To-Repeat: take a boot floppy, use DHCP and assign the name vaio.ispra.webweaving.org to it. Say YES to dhcp and see what happens to the fields. Then instead of doing TAB enter a value in the empty looking fields and then continue the install >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
