Package: molly-guard
Version: 0.4.5-1.1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

molly-guard's 30-query-hostname script performs a case-sensitive
comparison of the short-form hostname with user input, which is
rather inconvenient since hostnames (at least in DNS) are
case-insensitive anyhow:

> nicoo@AlGrothendieck:~$ sudo reboot
> [sudo] password for nicoo:
> Sorry, try again.
> [sudo] password for nicoo:
> I: molly-guard: reboot is always molly-guarded on this system.
> Please type in hostname of the machine to reboot: algrothendieck
> Good thing I asked; I won't reboot AlGrothendieck ...
> W: aborting reboot due to 30-query-hostname exiting with code 1.


Would a patch changing this behaviour be considered for inclusion?
If so, I would happily provide one.


Best,

  nicoo
