User reported that on CentOS 5 with 2.1.3-1 ipa-client-install was creating a zero-length /etc/sysconfig/network file.
The contents of the original file were:
NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=yes HOSTNAME=kelvin-c5
He was installing with:
ipa-client-install --no-ntp --force --hostname=kelvin-c5.<dnsdomainname>

Additional info from the user:
Some info that may help reproducing the issue: On that host, I found that dnsdomainname was returning nothing, which is unusual in our environment.
It turned out that was because the bare hostname (kelvin-c5) was in the /etc/hosts for 127.0.0.1. This was different than other machines we have, and deleting the kelvin-c5 from the 127.0.0.1 entry actually made dnsdomainname work again.

This was a problem with the patch that made IPA compatible with python 2.4.
Moving to next month iteration.
To be fixed in next RHEL 5 release.
Rename component.
