#1070: recovery-mode-config does not set /etc/hosts correctly--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------

     Type:  defect  |      Status:  new               
 Priority:  normal  |   Milestone:  The Distant Future
Component:  --      |    Keywords:

--------------------+------------------------------------------------------- The athena-renumber script writes out the line
 {{{
 127.0.1.1       $fqdn $hostname
 }}}
 to /etc/hosts. Neither of these variables are set.

 That said, in the context of athena-renumber, since we have a static IP,
 there's no need to set an /etc/hosts entry for 127.0.1.1. Freshly-
 installed hosts have a line there for the actual static IP address, for
 instance.
