These seem like bugs to me. I could be wrong.
1. During the install, it asks for the network configuration. First you
enter the domain name, and then when you go to the next field (hostname),
it appends the domain name and puts the cursor at the beginning,
suggesting that the first field should be for example "redhat.com" and the
hostname should be "speedy.redhat.com". But this sets it up so that
'hostname' returns "speedy.redhat.com" instead of just "speedy". I don't
think this is correct and it can cause confusion for things such as samba
and diald.
2. Why do both inet and nfsfs unmount NFS filesystems?
3. netcfg was reluctant to save my default route. For some reason, only
the Default Gateway Device field was filled with 'eth0' and the other one
was empty. I filled in the value for Default Gateway and hit save, but it
didn't save it. It only saved it after I deleted the eth0 and then
entered both fields from scratch.
4. Why are the default fstool NFS mount options soft,intr? From the nfs
man page:
intr If an NFS file operation has a major time-
out and it is hard mounted, then allow sig-
^^^^
nals to interupt the file operation and
cause it to return EINTR to the calling
program. The default is to not allow file
operations to be interrupted.
It seems that one option or the other makes sense, but not both.
Tony.
