This happens if the IP of the FAI server does not resolve to any hostname using 'getent hosts'. With the default nsswitch setup, you simply have to add an entry like "172.20.2.2 faitest-server-sarge" to /etc/hosts. The hostname has to equal the log-server as used by the client. > I tried to understand the code doing all this, and why it fails, and > under which circumstances, but did not succeed yet. > > It must be somewhere in setup_fai_account() but I don't understand the > sed stuff in there. That code is working fine, but it expects that hosts on the server is set up appropriately as described above when running fai-setup. This should be documented in the appropriate places, i.e. the Fai guide, I suppose. The problem is that FAI uses quite a lot of magic to determine the log-server when running on the client, so the documentation should be written by someone who really knows the details of how that is working.
