Thanks. I find that the hardest part of learning to do anything in Linux is learning the terminology. You are probably correct, but in the case of FQDN, this is not a Linux or Unix terminology. If you were a Windows system administrator, you would need to learn Windows terminology.
In this world of Computers, we happen to live in an acronymical world. And in many cases we recycle acronyms. Additionally, a while back I attended an AIX presentation, and being a long time Unix developer and former IBM mainframe person, I found that IBM has effectively used a large number of its own acronyms replacing the relatively standard Unix (and Linux) acronyms. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
