We have SLES 11SP3 under z/VM 6.3.
HOST and HOSTNAME are set by the shell and reflect just the host name, _not_ the "fully qualified domain name" (or FQDN) that you seem to be expecting. Is there a problem with just the host name being used? If so, that would be worth opening a bug with IBM to get them to use a standard method of extracting the FQDN. If you look at /etc/profile, it will set HOSTNAME to the contents of /etc/HOSTNAME if $HOSTNAME is null. The fact that the shell is setting HOSTNAME before then means that the contents of /etc/HOSTNAME are _not_ being used.
