Hi, Thomas, Since hyphens are legal in hostnames, but illegal in FAI classes, I think that then the bug is not with the fetch-basfile script, but with whatever defines that class. I thin that the hostname class is automatically defined by FAI (i.e. not by our FAI configuration), but I may be wrong. I think that the approach to replace hyphens and any other illegal characters with underscores is a very good one.
