So that would be the server side change, and then we also update beah to
make this readily accessible in the standard execution environment?
The change to beah should be even more minimal:
- GUEST_ATTRS = ('system', 'mac_address', 'location',
'guestargs', 'guestname')
+ GUEST_ATTRS = ('system', 'mac_address', 'location',
'guestargs', 'guestname', 'hostfqdn')
That sounds like a reasonable approach to me.
Cheers,
Nick.
