https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430364 Resolves: bug 430364 Bug Description: When the IP address for the admin server to listen on is specified in the inf file, it is not used in the config DS or in the console.conf config file. Reviewed by: ??? Files: see diff Branch: HEAD Fix Description: The first issue is that an error was being returned by the config CGI when attempting to set the IP address in console.conf, but the AdminServer.pm code was not detecting this error. This caused the install to not error out reporting that there was a problem with the IP address.

The second issue is that the validation of the IP address in the config CGI was too strict. To validate the IP address, we were getting the hostname of the system, doing a reverse lookup to get the addresses associated with that hostname, then checking if any of those addresses matched the one form the .inf file. If the requested address is assigned to a different hostname, this validation will fail. The fix is to simply try to bind the address to a socket to see if the address is valid. We don't need to care what hostname it is associated with, we just need to know that the address is assigned to the system.

The third issue is that the template file for the "o=NetscapeRoot" entry was missing a replace macro for the "nsServerAddress" attribute. The fix just adds the macro and maps it to the ServerIpAddress .inf directive. Platforms tested: F9 Flag Day: no Doc impact: no https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=330174&action=diff
