[Spacewalk-list] "Unknown" hostname

[Chad Pritchett]

I'm not doing this in kickstart at the moment, just running a script that
installs the tools and registers the system.  This is always done after
we've set the hostname, although it might not necessarily be in DNS.  Could
that be the problem?

Thanks,
