# cat HOSTNAME alchemy.3111skyline.com
That was odd, in the past, /etc/HOSTNAME generally included only the hostname part and not the dnsdomainname as well. Fixing /etc/HOSTNAME fixed the problem.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Hi Yes. It only matters if you have DNS critical stuff like Kerberos because the search domains in /etc/resolv.conf are appended to the contents of /etc/HOSTNAME. So for us at least /etc/HOSTNAME _must_ contain the short hostname. e.g. in your case, your box in DNS critical situations would be: alchemy.3111skyline.com.3111skyline.com I don't think it's a bug because I don't think anyone has the definitive answer. Ubuntu hits it as close as we've ever seen, 'etc/hostname This file should only contain domain name and not the full FQDN'. But that's /etc/hostname. We don't have that file on 13.1;) Aything which returns: hostname -s hostname -f and hostname -d correctly will get you there. Then check that the A records are correct with dig.
