It is not. It is net-tools specific, hostname -f uses gethostbyname. If you only want the node name, and if the node name is fqdn, you can use "hostname" or "hostname -s" to get it with or without the domain. Besides that, I would allow FQDN in /etc/hostname Gruss Bernd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
