This allows users to auto-generate names based on DMI values if desired.
auto.register.php no longer sets the hostName based the QUICKREG value, it simply sets the hostName to $macsimple, and inventory.php takes care of generating the new name.
In the FOG_QUICKREG_SYS_NAME field in the Quick Registration settings, you can specify DMI values by enclosing the name in curly braces, like PC-{SYSSERIAL}
Valid DMI values are:
SYSMAN, SYSPRODUCT, SYSVERSION, SYSSERIAL, SYSTYPEBIOSVERSION, BIOSVENDOR, BIOSDATE, MBMAN, MBPRODUCTNAME, MBVERSION, MBSERIAL, MBASSET, CPUMAN, CPUVERSION, CPUCURRENT, CPUMAX, MEM, HDINFO, CASEMAN, CASEVER, CASESERIAL, CASESASSET
I believe this also maintains all old functionality, ie you can use **** to auto-generate numbers.
Right now, it will not overwrite old hostName values. If the hostname is not set to the host's mac address, it will simply leave it as is.
