You need to use dnsdomainname to get that, and I don't=20 > even know how to do it with standard libc. >=20 Correct me if I am wrong, but the right way to do this is to set the hostname to just that - the hostname, and add 'domain foo.com' to /etc/resolv.conf. Then you should get something like (for say www1.foo.com): $ hostname www1 $ dnsdomainname foo.com $ hostname -f www1.foo.com I know for some buggy software the workaround was to set the hostname to the FQDN, but that is really just a kludge, and the software should rather be fixed (had to patch postfix some time back for instance). --=20 Martin Schlemmer --=-MCQ8TmnxBqvoX1nWr4nZ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBCZYZXqburzKaJYLYRAldhAJ9uT5mimMYi2b2iqeQEJNnwEQjXNQCgjE6b 7A8+Cf8GgTXcIMoz/9YWCSU= =p0ql -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-MCQ8TmnxBqvoX1nWr4nZ--
