[Spacewalk-list] FQDN required?

[Duncan Mac-Vicar P.]

Hi

I just tested our codebase based on 1.7 with full Oracle 11 (not 10 XE) 
and without setting up any FQDN (vm on a private network, linux as 
hostname) and Spacewalk seems to work. I haven't tested lot of stuff of 
course.

I remember that 1.2 code with Oracle 10 XE was very sensitive to the 
FQDN. Was this the reason for 
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PackageManagement/Spacewalk to specify "A 
fully qualified domain name (FQDN)" as a requirement or are there more 
pieces that will break without one?
