Hi Chris, I agree with your proposal for the hostname and FQDN. I can't see any major problems with it.
Regards Andrew ---vvv--- Proposed change to Section 2.2 ---vvv--- The HOSTNAME field will contain an indication of the originator of the message in one of four formats: only the hostname, the hostname and domainname, the IPv4 address, or the IPv6 address. The preferred value is the hostname and domainname in the format specified in STD-13 [RFC 1034 and 1035]. This format will be referred to in this document as HOSTNAME-STD13. If only the hostname is used, the HOSTNAME field MUST contain the hostname only of the device as specified in STD-13 [4]. This format is discouraged but provides for legacy compatability with the format described in RFC 3164. This format will be referred to in this document as HOSTNAME-3164. In this format, the Domain Name MUST NOT be included in the HOSTNAME field. If the IPv4 address is used, it MUST be shown as the dotted decimal notation as used in STD-13 [5], and will be referred to as HOSTNAME-IPV4. If an IPv6 address is used, any valid representation used in RFC-2373 [6] MAY be used and will be referred to as HOSTNAME-IPV6. A single space character MUST also follow the HOSTNAME field. Messages containing Signature Blocks and Certificate Blocks as described in this document MUST use the HOSTNAME-STD13 format in the HOSTNAME field. ---^^^--- Proposed change to Section 2.2 ---^^^---
