Strange. Works for me. I have:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 haitech.martin.home haitech
[...]
#hostname --fqdn
haitech.martin.home
# hostname --domain
martin.home
[change second line to "127.0.0.1 haitech haitech.martin.home" ]
# hostname --fqdn
haitech
# hostname --domain
#
(I dont have a /etc/domainname and /etc/hostname reads "haitech")
Also the hostname man page says:
THE FQDN
You can't change the FQDN (as returned by hostname --fqdn)
or the DNS domain name (as returned by dnsdomainname) with
this command. The FQDN of the system is the name that the
resolver(3) returns for the host name.
Technically: The FQDN is the name gethostbyname(2) returns
for the host name returned by gethostname(2). The DNS
domain name is the part after the first dot.
I use hostname 2.03
Ciao,
Martin
