[Spacewalk-list] Help with kick-start.

[Josh Preston]

Pup,

After this thread, you might want to consider my other snippetŠ it sets
hostname and ip based on kernel parameters, kickstart options (variables
in the kickstart) or, if like us, you need to use cobbler buildiso.

# Begin spacewalk/1/post-configure-hostname snippet

# 1. if the system's hostname is not set or equals localhost.localdomain
or it's set to ip address
#   a. configure the hostname using the kernel command line options
#   b. configure the hostname using cobbler system data
# 2. create our valid /etc/hosts entries

#set $HOSTNAME = $getVar("$hostname", "$hostname")
#set $GATEWAY = $getVar("$gateway", "$gateway")
#set $IP = $getVar("$ip", "$ip")

HOSTNAME="$HOSTNAME"
GATEWAY="$GATEWAY"
IP="$IP"

#if $getVar("$system_name", "") == ""
    #raw
for I in $(cat /proc/cmdline); do
    case "$I" in *=*)
        eval $I; export $I;
    esac;
done
    #end raw
#end if

if [ -z "$HOSTNAME" || "$HOSTNAME" = "localhost" || "$HOSTNAME" =
"localhost.localdomain" || "$HOSTNAME" == "$IP" ]; then

    # bring in hostname specified on the command line
    if [ -f /tmp/network ]; then
        cp /tmp/network /mnt/sysimage/etc/sysconfig/network
    else # create the valid entry
        echo "NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=$HOSTNAME
GATEWAY=$GATEWAY" > /mnt/sysimage/etc/sysconfig/network
    fi

fi

# bring in the new network settings
. /mnt/sysimage/etc/sysconfig/network

# force hostname change
/mnt/sysimage/bin/hostname $HOSTNAME

# setup variables for use in /etc/hosts
LONG=`/mnt/sysimage/bin/hostname`
SHORT=`/mnt/sysimage/bin/hostname -s`
echo "$IP        \${LONG} \${SHORT}" >> /mnt/sysimage/etc/hosts

# End spacewalk/1/post-configure-hostname snippet
