From my cable modem provider I appearantly don't get one. I guess that some system network tool sets "(none)" as default hostname, although I have "linux.site" set in /etc/HOSTNAME (as can be also seen in YaST Network Settings. If I look into /etc/hosts it looks like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost .. 127.0.0.2 (none) which is fine for "(none)". I would expect "linux.site" to be offered as the system-wide hostname. Hasn't been "(none)" hardcoded in some network tool or script to be taken instead of the configurable default?
