so in the example:

admin-user-name at kojihub$ koji add-host kojibuilder1.example.com i386 x86_64

You could actually just put kojibuilder1 and then in
/etc/koji/kojid.conf do this:

user = kojibuilder1

If that is the case, awesome.. that through me off because the
original documentation used the kojibuilder1.example.com.  Should I
adjust that to take that into consideration in the Proposed doc?

I guess i can see that point since the ssl certificates were one of the
first things I got hung up on.
