Although problems with resolving the local hostname appear finally to be getting solved, I think it would still be good to create an explicit policy describing the (default) contents of /etc/hostname, /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/hosts. The policy should also describe how applications are expected to interpret the contents of these files. Policy should take into account the fact that some computers are not connected to a network; some are connected to the Internet and have a static IP address; some get an IP address via DHCP; some of the latter also get assigned a FQDN. Obviously, applications should work correctly under all circumstances.
