/etc/initiatorname.iscsi automatic setup

[andy h <60313@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The file /etc/initiatorname.iscsi is not installed by the
iscsi-initiator-utils rpm on Fedora Core 5.

It should be unique for each machine, but iscsi-name can be used to generate
suitable contents. Inadequate documentation is provided for the file.

The best solution is to autogenerate the file on install, then it doesn't
matter that it is not well documented...

I suggest the following is added to the %post script; it will not alter the
file if present but will create it if not present:

[ -f /etc/initiatorname.iscsi ] || echo "InitiatorName=`iscsi-iname`"
>/etc/initiatorname.iscsi
