-# Set the fully-qualified domain name of the client. This is only used for
-# certificate purposes, but can be used to override the discovered hostname.
-# If you need to use this flag, it is generally an indication of a setup problem.
+# certname::
+# Set the certname (unique ID) of the client. The master reads this unique
