Per the FreeIPA quickstart guide:
The rule about /etc/hosts is that the fully-qualified name must come
first. It should look like:
10.0.0.1
ipa.example.com ipa
Our servers run SAP, which requires the reverse. An SAP server's
canonical name must be its short name. :(
Is there any way to get freeipa to work with short names? I know it says
"must be fully qualified" several times in the docs... Suggestions?
Workarounds? Kludges?
