Reopen Issue

I try to connect a fedora client to my server with Fedora 36. I've set /etc/hosts and executed a "hostnamectl set-hostname..." command... but the script complains about a lack of FQDN. My DNS SERVER also knows the name of this client... Then, wat's the problem ? Thanks in advance !

Here's the text shown on my console:
[administrator@bib03 ~]$ cat /etc/hosts
192.168.2.92 bib03 bib03.ccm.indloverval.be
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
[administrator@bib03 ~]$ sudo hostnamectl

This program will set up IPA client.

invalid hostname: pas pleinement qualifié
The ipa-client-install command failed. See /var/log/ipaclient-install.log for more information

Please make canonical hostname FQDN. Your /etc/hosts has non-FQDN as canonical hostname.

192.168.2.92 bib03 bib03.ccm.indloverval.be

it should be

192.168.2.92 bib03.ccm.indloverval.be bib03

See man page hosts(5).

Note that using FreeIPA issue tracker for this kind of questions is not recommended. This is configuration issue and should be discussed at freeipa-users@ mailing list instead.
