[Spacewalk-list] "Unknown" hostname

[Glaser, David]

That usually happens if when you register you don't have a hostname set on the machine (i.e it comes up with a hostname of localhost.localdomain) or when you register the machine it doesn't have a hostname that can be determined from DNS.

Are you building/registering machines via kickstart?

Spacewalk is not picking up the hostnames of new systems I am registering.  This was working just fine, but at some point they started showing up as "unknown".
