> and then use switches that no longer exist.
New description:
Following on from #2364, /etc/sysconfig/network should contain a fully
qualified domain name now that /bin/hostname supports it...that is
assuming that it correctly sets domainname and hostname in
/proc/sys/kernel. I also notice that a few old switches (-h, --host, and
--domainname), as well as the DECnet support, have been removed in
comparison to the really old one from net-tools. Be on the lookout for
scripts that test only for -f and then use switches that might not exist.
