[Spacewalk-list] Client hostname resolution

[Adrián Márques]

Hello there.

I'm trying out spacewalk on CentOs 5.2 and all my clients' hostnames and 
system names are being registered as 'unknown' on the server. What could 
be the reason? How does the server determine the client's hostname?

I suppose this is part of the problem: my systems are connected through 
a windows network and I can't resolve their hostnames. Well, actually I 
can now, but it took configuring samba to publish the netbios name, 
doing hostname resolution through WINS and even then I'm not resolving 
the FQDNs (clientname.domainname) but the netbios names (clientname).

I'd appreciate any comments on this.

Thanks for you attention.

Best regards.

Adrián.
