Hello Folks,
first off a big thanks for this very fine piece of software that is
cobbler. I am currently playing with it as part of an investigation for
my team and it impresses me more and more. That said, I think I may
have a bug for you.
In summary dhcpd chokes after a cobbler sync when you add a system with
a full domain name using the "--hostname" option of cobbler system add.
This is because "option host-name" in dhcpd only takes the machine name.
Below is a transcript of the commands used to illustrate the bug and a
patch that corrects the behavior.
Many thanks in-advance,
Gareth
