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=<a href="https://spacewalk/XMLRPC" target="_blank">https://spacewalk/XMLRPC</a> --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.
