I notice that the server host name is kept in files like
hostname
db/scm
db/servers
db/vicetab
VSGDB
as
wanchai
not as a fully-qualified domain name (wanchai.cc.gatech.edu). This causes
failure at server startup time unless you have a
search cc.gatech.edu
entry in your /etc/resolv.conf file.
The questions are:
- Why are host names stored this way? Why not as an fqdn?
- Can I alter these files to use fqdn's with impunity?
