"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” This is brilliant. Is there a way to tell a kickstart to add the --profilename argument to the rhnreg_ks that gets generated? We have to do our provisioning on a separate network from where the server eventually resides, so the profiles are all named localhost.localdomain until a post script renames everything, which to me is a kludge.

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. -- Brian This e-mail is private and may be confidential and is for the intended recipient only.

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.
