I see this too.  Anybody know if the dhcp_name can be safely
deleted without breaking other software (or not) ?

Subject: DHCP kickstart leads to bogus entry in /etc/hosts


Has anyone else noticed that when doing a dhcp based kickstart, they end
up with an /etc/hosts with

127.0.0.1            dhcp_name localhost.localdomain localhost

Our mail admin recently made a change to sendmail that caused every
message from these machines to boucnce. I assumed it was my
configuration of sendmail (which is the config redhat ships,
unmodified). By looking at the machines which bounced versus which
didn't, I eventually found this line to be the culprit.

Any idea if kickstart (or dhcpcd) can be told not to do this?
