It (or a similarly named function, I don't remember exactly) returns the first name for the "127.0.0.1" entry in /etc/hosts. If you look at that line, I bet your unqualified hostname is the name there. Add your FQHN to the loopback entry as the first name and see if that solves your problem. -D -- Microsoft: "Windows NT 4.0 now has the same user-interface as Windows 95" Windows 95: "Press CTRL-ALT-DEL to reboot" Windows NT 4.0: "Press CTRL-ALT-DEL to login"
