[chef] Re: Re: Setting Hostname on EC2 Instance Spinup

[Chris Streeter < >]

I ran knife with the -N option with the parameter set to 'www'. However, the
hostname of the box (set on the box and in the opscode console) is set to an
AWS internal IP (ip-10-XXX-XX-XX) while the nodename is set to www. So this
doesn't quite do what I want it to do. I want the actual hostname of the box 
to
be www.

Otherwise, in a template, how do I get the node's name (for populating
/etc/hosts on all machines)?
