Re: Weird sys.fqhost value

Hi Robert,

  On which OS?
  I have done dome tests and I also rely on this variable. But on our 
machines I do not see this weird behaviour.

You can check:
```
     /etc/hosts for networking
     /etc/hostname : This will be read by boot scripts on boot time and 
set its value.
     /proc/sys/kernel/hostname : Current hostname.
     /etc/sysconfig/network : Networking (HOSTNAME=”server1″ parameter)
```

maybe there is some weird character somewehere
