I think you and I are discussing different things. On this old box I have Crux 1.1, Arch 0.5, Slackware 9.0 RedHat 9.0 and I can tell you that all of them are capble of two things: 1 They are faster to contact my firewall Mdk 9.0. 2 They all give me the desired name in the 'terminal'. As you write up here you seem to know the very strings that all these 'functions' are using. How very difficult should it be to change a taken localhost.localdomain from the firewall and change it to Name.localdomain.
