This command that accepts the -f option is *not* the GNU hostname command.
There is a small confusion, there are two versions of GNU hostname. One that supports -f (GNU Inetutils hostname), and one that doesn't (GNU Coreutils hostname). The one in coreutils is not installed by default. Maybe we should remove the one in coreutils? _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
