With this patch, ipa-replica-prepare always reports the warning:

# ipa-replica-prepare vm-050.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com
Warning: The host name 'vm-050.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com' does not match the system host name 'vm-134.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com'.
         Some services may not work properly.

Reopening 1717.
