You could at least achieve that desired behavior by putting all your local hosts to /etc/hosts without domain name. You would have to do this on all your hosts (or NIS aka YP, if you have that). Ugly, if you already have DNS running. The getnameinfo(3) function has a flag NI_NOFQDN which would do what you want for local hosts, but that doesn't help here. So, missing is only a global config flag for getnameinfo() that let's it behave as if NI_NOFQDN had been specified if the domain name matches the one in /etc/resolv.conf. Useful would also be another flag to strip domain names that are listed in /etc/resolv.conf in the "search" entry. I also would like such a functionality. urs
