We use a lot of made-up names in the self-tests, had to add the
force flag to all of them.

I can't get this patch to apply:

[ayo...@ayoung freeipa]$ git apply ~/Documents/IPA/freeipa-490-dns.patch
error: patch failed: ipalib/util.py:28
error: ipalib/util.py: patch does not apply



I've tried it both with and without patch 484

OK, disregard that,  I was able to apply it on top of 484, build and
deploy.

I'd give it an ACK except that I can't figure out how to work around service-add where the service is not yet resolvable. I understand
that this is not desired, but I'm fairly certain that not being able
to do this will mess up someone.
ipa service-add-host --force --hosts=web.example.com HTTP/web.example.com
Usage: ipa [global-options] service-add-host PRINCIPAL

ipa: error: no such option: --force


The --force should be an option. And if it does not resolve but internal
DNS is used then there should be an option to add it to the DNS.

So I guess the logic should be:
1) No options and the host resolves -> success
2) No options and the host does not resolve -> failure
3) --force is specified and the host resolves -> success (force is ignored)
4) --force is specified and the host does not resolve -> host is added as is
5) --dns is specified but we do not use internal DNS -> failure invalid
parameter
6) --dns is specified and we use internal DNS and the host resolves ->
host is added to the hosts and host is not added to dns since it is
already there
7) --dns is specified and we use internal DNS and the host does not
resolve -> host is added to the hosts and to dns

NACK for now.

No, I don't want to interweave DNS in this way right now. DNS is more complex than automatically adding hosts would handle (an A record with no PTR is worse than no A record IMHO).

This was merely an option I didn't explicitly test so it got past me. I'll make sure --force works with service-add-host.
