Thanks. So I can see why it might want to insert a single long line:
127.0.1.1 client1.my.domain client1 localhost ...
For our own use, I've written a small snippet that will do what we want;
that is, two separate lines:
127.0.0.1 localhost...
my.ip.num.ber client1.my.domain client1
and it works.
But I'm new to cobbler and snippets, so I think my implementation may be
poor. Whereas there are bash and python variables containing the
hostname, there doesn't seem to be a bash variable containing the client
IP number through which the kickstart is running. Comparing with
existing snippets, I found some python that loops through all
interfaces, getting the potential IP number of each. But I wonder if
there is a simple variable referring to the IP being used for the
client's end of the kickstart?
(Is such information documented somewhere? I'm happy to read manuals if
I know that such things exist!)
