[Users] Reverse DNS really necessary?
Hi, oVirt's setup procedure seems to insist reverse DNS records are present. When running engine-setup interactively, you are able to override this, but with automated installations it flat outs refuses to install: == [root@ovirt ~]# engine-setup --answer-file=answers Welcome to oVirt Engine setup utility The IP 192.168.88.102 does not hold a PTR record for the FQDN: ovirt.maxnet.eu Failed handling answer file: Error reading parameter HOST_FQDN from answer file == Kinda annoying requirment, when you only want to create a quick test setup. Was wondering where it is actually using reverse DNS for? -- Yours sincerely, Floris Bos

Why not use the admin@internal user for quick test setus? (DB-Based authentication).

The interactive setup allows you to force using a specific host name. This force command doesn't exists (iirc) in the answer-file mode.
