If you mean "host", yes, the man page says it's the server's hostname, 
but I don't think that's entirely true - it is currently set during 
server install, but it defaults to local hostname even on clients. IMO 
we could set it in ipa-client-install as well (at least when --hostname 
is used) and then ipa-submit could use it to construct the principal name.
