Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2008-12-23 17:32:33 MSK 
alterator-net-eth-3.1-alt5.M41.2

After entering the hostname, two lines appear in /etc/HOSTNAME, as described in https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18289#c6 :

After this action in alterator:

# diff -dur /etc/net{.orig,}
Только в /etc/net/ifaces: eth0
# cat /etc/HOSTNAME
dell.home
dell.home
# 

The two entries in /etc/HOSTNAME are without any spaces, but with a new line. 

I don't know whether two lines are allowed or this is an error.

(This also triggers a minor bug in the code of etcnet: https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18289 -- unexpected expansion to many words.) And then it is probably the reason for further non-working things: https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18290 , https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18291 .

It happens in the 4.1 Desktop LiveCD.

Наверное проще всего поставить зависимость на новый setup где /etc/HOSTNAME это ссылка на proc и убрать заполнение /etc/HOSTNAME.
