I had not seen that yet, but it will happen if 'hostname' is never specified, which I think only happens in the 'static_dhcp' case. In the current form System Configurator will blast out the hostname.
I can change it to get rid of the error, however it will mean that using
'static_dhcp' will mean that all installed clients will a) think they are
the same name as the golden-client (in a harvested image) or b) not have an
/etc/hostname file at all (in a built image).
I think we need to think about getting rid of the two dhcp options, and
making the behavior of dynamic_dhcp be the one defined as "dhcp".

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors than
zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
