Hi David,
I just had a look at an opensuse 13.1 VM I have installed in a test rig (this one runs kolab which requires correct response from the hostname commands) and I do not see what you are seeing. Here is the output from this VM andrew@kolab:~> cat /etc/HOSTNAME kolab.test.rig andrew@kolab:~> hostname kolab andrew@kolab:~> hostname -s kolab andrew@kolab:~> hostname -f kolab.test.rig <snip> # # IP-Address Full-Qualified-Hostname Short-Hostname #

Do you have the hosts entry?
I generally do not include the alias to my specific IP in /etc/hosts. I do alias localhost:
# IP-Address Full-Qualified-Hostname Short-Hostname
127.0.0.1 alchemy.3111skyline.com localhost alchemy The issue in my case was /etc/HOSTNAME was filled with 'alchemy.3111skyline.com' on install instead of just 'alchemy' as most other suse/openSuSE installs have done since? 7.0 ftp install over dial-up? Simply fixing /etc/HOSTNAME solved the issue, the real problem is why did the fqdn end up in /etc/HOSTNAME in the first place... -- David C.
