[Bug 634215] Re: ubiquity-kde install allows invalid hostnames

[Brian Murray]

For what it is worth in Ubiquity version 2.9.15 using a number doesn't
work unless you leave the hostname a number and then enter a password in
the password field (see bug 928447). So people may be discouraged by the
hostname already exists on the network message and change their hostname
to NaN.

Title:
  ubiquity-kde install allows invalid hostnames

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I entered 12 into the hostname field and it was accepted.  A simple
  check that the provided hostname is at least not all numbers would
  help reduce incidence of invalid hostnames (which results in lots of
  invalid bugs against postfix when it declines to configure itself with
  an invalid hostname).
