I guess I should add-up that my test environment boxes are running Solaris 8, that nsswitch.conf is set to "hosts: dns files" and that my DNS server is specified in resolv.conf (just to eliminate the newbie-debugging stuff).
I tried looking up the ftpd source code, and the few variables I took a look at contained the non-FQDN hostname at runtime. However, OpenSSH's ssh, scp and sftp are all behaving that way too. From what I can tell, GSSAPI is the only shared component between all of these.
