Redhat RHN (re)-joining in Kickstart

[Phil Bettinson]

Hello All,

I'm currently arguing with a small part of a kickstart script that 
joins, and updates the computers to the kickstart network. It works, 
appart from the fact that it registers them as "localhost.localhost", as 
opposed to their machine names.

The machines have the correct names when they reboot (that is, the pick 
up the correct hostnames, and have the right ip addresses etc.), but it 
means that I have to re-register them with RHN in order to give them a 
sane name.

I'm aware that there have been request for features put in for this, but 
I was wondering if anyone had found a way round it? or if there is a way 
of setting the hostname of the computer before registring to RHN so that 
it registers with the correct name.

Thanks in advance,

Phil Bettinson.
