hostnames on kvm images with periods

 

I have setup Essex on Centos 6.2 64 bit as per
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_OpenStack_EPEL
I am using kvm/libvirt

I can create images fine with nova boot. If I choose the name to be
my.test.server, nova shows the name as local.test.server correctly,
however, when I ssh to the newly created image the hostname is just
"local" .
If i choose the name to be: local-test-server, it gets set correctly on
the new instance . I have been able to reproduce this one two separate
machines. 

Is this expected behavior? Am I missing some critical step?


Thanks!

Drew
