But it doesn't need to be this way on my system. I think this must be due to some specific hostname-related configuration on your system. I hadn't tried the combinations before but trying them just now. I find exactly the opposite. If I include the FQDN then it fails to match. I must use only the short hostname or it won't work. Having looked at this now I will make an addition to Bug#813620 with this information. Because we have determined this to be the same as Bug#813620 I will merge the two reports. If you are interested I suggest subscribing to the bug. We can continue the investigation there. Bob
