while this probably isn't only place the bug should be, yes 'hostname' shouldn't complain, but still debian/unstable installation is doing something wrong, as all fresh debian/unstable installations will return only hostname (up until first dot) part when 'hostname' command is issued. Very complex, as you'd really expect hostname to return hostname not FQDN, but it doesn't seem to be proper way. > On (2005-12-29 19:53 +0200), Saku Ytti wrote: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# hostname foo.ytti.fi > hostname: the specified hostname is invalid > > After this, even though it complains, it works.
