Sorry to double-post, but I just realized, shouldn't spacewalk-setup be checking that the hostname is all-lowercase, at the same time that it checks that it is a valid FQDN? I know that I definitely didn't get any warnings about CASE when running it, and I set it up at least twice from scratch. Should I submit a bug report requesting this? Thanks, Bruce
