Yeah, this is a basic one, but one I'm finding conflicting answers for.
1. If a computer is on a DHCP network where the hostname, but not the domain information, of that computer is set and typed in during the installation should /etc/sysconfig/network contain the fully qualified name or just the hostname without the domain info?
i.e. should /etc/sysconfig/network for vtcmail on the network gc.lucent.com read just HOSTNAME=vtcmail or HOSTNAME=vtcmail.gc.lucent.com?
This page at RH seems to indicate it should be the fully-qualified name yet many other google searches say, no, it should only contain the fully qualified name:
<"http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/ref-guide/s1- boot-init-shutdown-sysconfig.html">
Right now, the server I'm having so many troubles with has the fully-qualified name in /etc/sysconfig/network
