Comment(by bdu...@…):
I don't think that's it Matt. What is wanted is something like:
{{{
bdu...@lfs6:~$ hostname
lfs6
bdu...@lfs6:~$ hostname --fqdn
lfs6.gdc.com
}}}
Using net-tools 1.60 / hostname 1.100 (2001-04-14).
This is set in /etc/rc.d/init.d/localnet:
hostname ${HOSTNAME} where HOSTNAME is defined in /etc/sysconfig/network
as HOSTNAME=lfs6. The fqdn is picked up from /etc/hosts:
192.168.0.75 lfs6.gdc.com lfs6
From the man page:
THE FQDN
You can't change the FQDN (as returned by hostname --fqdn)
or the DNS domain name (asreturned by dnsdomainname) with this
command. The FQDN of the system is the name that the resolver(3)
returns for the host name.
Technically: The FQDN is the name gethostbyname(2) returns
for the host name returned by gethostname(2). The DNS domain
name is the part after the first dot.
Therefore it depends on the configuration (usually in
/etc/host.conf) how you can change it. Usually (if the
hosts file is parsed before DNS or NIS) you can change it
in /etc/hosts.
