Hello.
I'm trying to automate a machine installation with kickstart and cfengine.
In my %post section, the last two lines are
hostname `hostname --fqdn`
cfagent -Kvq
This approach seems to work on RHAS2.1, but not RHEL3.
How should I set the hostname for cfagent?
If I recall, what I was doing at my previous workplace was to:
1. Ensure a working DNS configuration (and IP address) are set up in
Kickstart somewhere.
2. Use "host $ip" to get the hostname (you need reverse DNS set up
for this).
