Newbie problem: IP address getting set to hostname

[Mark Calleja]

Hi,

We're trying our first attempt at a FAI installation for a network bootable 
machine, and it all seems to go well except that the client's hostname gets 
set to its IP address. Is anyone aware what could be causing this? We're 
using FAI 2.6.6, and here's the relevant dhcpd.conf fragment:

host <hostname.domainname> {hardware ethernet 00:a0:cc:61:c7:11; 
fixed-address <hostname.domainname>; option host-name  "<hostname>"; }

Apart from this problem the client seems to be properly installed with the 
default installation, and we can ssh to it successfully.

Thanks for any help,
M
