Title:
  network-admin doesn't perform hostname data validation

Status in “gnome-system-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

  I was helping a beginner with his Feisty system.  I kept getting a
  temporary file creation error from gpg regarding some bizarre URL when
  I tried to add a repo using apt-key.  It took a while before I noticed
  the rather obvious problem - his hostname was a URL and gpg uses the
  hostname in the file name.  I suspect he misunderstood the purpose of
  the hostname box in network-admin and entered the URL to his ISP.
  Apparently the app doesn't check an entered hostname for blatantly
  invalid names like "http://hostname.com";.
