Folks,

Juggling a problem here that perhaps doesn't have a perfect solution.
I'm looking at systems that get re-provisioned by a
Satellite/Spacewalk/Installation method.  For full (Free)IPA
integration, we normally delete the old entry from IPA, create a new one
from scratch and set the OTP to match what we put in our post-install
script called by the kickstart file.

Just noticed that I can do the same thing by Unprovisioning the system
via the WebUI and then setting the OTP.

Is there a way to Unprovision a registered host and set a OTP via the
command line?  I was looking at 'ipa host-mod --setattr' but not getting
too far with the Unprovisioning aspect.
