Your host knows what name is has - 'susan' hostname -f tries to discover the FQDN by using your resolver /etc/resolv.conf says "look in /etc/hosts" /etc/hosts now has an entry matching the name 'susan' This entry has a domain name in first entry (the other entries on the same line are aliases) Result ... hostname -f works. _______________________________________________ DunLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ethernal.org/listinfo/dunlug DunLUG Wiki - http://dunlug.kallisti.net.nz/
