Redhat RHN (re)-joining in Kickstart

[James_Martin at ao.uscourts.gov]

The only way I was able to fix this (and it occurs for me after the 
install if I tried to register) was this in %post:

echo "192.168.10.100 myhostname" >> /etc/hosts

of course make the necessary substitutions, and perform this before you do 
the rhnreg_ks
