[Spacewalk-list] systems registers as localhost.localdomain

[Giovanni Torres]

I am using cobbler to manage dhcp.  How/where do I ensure that a reservation is made?

> If you're provisioning the server with DHCP and you haven't made a reservation, then that will cause the behavior you see.  The spacewalk registration takes place well before the cobbler scripts set the correct networking information in the kickstart process.
