Re: [hobbit] Novell SuSE SLES 10 client issue.

I would also check the ghost client report to make sure that the SLES client
is sending the correct hostname to the Hobbit server. I have found on some
linux clients, it send the hostname and some send the FQDN. I usually just
manually modify the client config to send the hostname I want and not rely
on the automatic (which I think is uname -n by default ... don't quote me on
that though ... not near my Hobbit box right now).
