Redhat RHN (re)-joining in Kickstart

[James P]

Kinda depends how you're setting your hostname and how your doing your 
registration during the kickstart, but it should be fairly easy no 
matter how you approach it. In my own builds, I set the hostname in the 
%pre section and then register in the %post like this:

rhnreg_ks --profilename $HOSTNAME

p.s. Not sure if this is what you meant, but you don't really have to 
re-register the systems just to change their profile names. You can edit 
that part of the RHN website manually.
