Comment(by d...@…):
Yes, and it should. My understanding of /proc/sys/kernel/domainname was
completely off base. From Bruce's description, I'm making a partially
educated (now) guess here, but ISTM that everything after the first dot
should be discarded when setting with the -f flag. The domain name should
be determined by consulting /etc/hosts, and should that fail, then by DNS
(unless you've modified /etc/nsswitch.conf). I'm still going off of the
man page for net-tools hostname, but if the new version holds true to the
previous functions, setting only the short hostname (`hostname kyoto`)
*should* return identical results.
