Podman --hostname option does not change the /etc/hosts entries
Issue
When the container is created using podman with a specific hostname by including --hostname option, hostname is getting changed but the content of /etc/hosts remains unchanged.
- Create a container using podman with --hostname option enabled:
podman run -dt --pod new:test --hostname alpine --name alpine alpine
- Execute cat /etc/hosts command inside the newly created container.
podman exec -ti alpine cat /etc/hosts
