OK – perhaps we’re looking at the wrong server in this equation.

Verify what the DNS “on the spacewalk server” thinks server “whatever” is.

If you’re reusing IPs you could simply have old data on the spacewalk box,
not the node.



You can attach png or jpg files and show us in detail what you are seeing,
should this not be helpful.

When I do rhnreg_ks I specify the profile name as the fully qualified
domain name, like this:



rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://spacewalk/XMLRPC --profilename=`hostname
-f` --activationkey=1-blabla

The DNS may not match the actual “hostname” of the new box.

Also, just because it is in /etc/hosts, does not mean that it is the true
“hostname.”



To find out:

On a unix box, just type in “hostname” and press enter.

That will show you what the system thinks its own name is.



For windows, you have to right click on my computer, then properties to see
the hostname.

Hi!

I have a strange problem. I have a machine with a name, let say hostname1.



When I to the registering of it with:



rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://spacewalk/XMLRPC --activationkey=1-blabla



When I check the detail I see a hostname of “whatever”.



I have checked the DNS (forward and reverse), /etc/hosts and cannot find
why I get that hostname.



Someone know what I should do to correct.



Thanks

Louis Francoeur
