Right. But it would still be *nice* if GNU hostname did not trigger any breakage in such non-portable scripts. And it would be nice if GNU hostname supported both the -s/--short and -f/--fqdn options, so that it would not enforce policy, but rather let admins decide for themselves which form to use - i.e., the long form. :) paul _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
