Re: [opensuse] 13.1 - 'hostname' returns fqdn instead of just hostname - install put fqdn in HOSTNAME?

I think simply correcting /etc/HOSTNAME on openSuSE 13.1 took care of all issues:
16:13 alchemy:~> hostnamectl status
   Static hostname: alchemy
         Icon name: computer-laptop
           Chassis: laptop
        Machine ID: b918ea6883fbabffd9bae79653c1dd82
           Boot ID: a586eea49d304ea5bca3dae7502ea331
  Operating System: openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (x86_64)
       CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:opensuse:opensuse:13.1
            Kernel: Linux 3.11.10-17-desktop
      Architecture: x86_64
17:17 alchemy:~> hostname
alchemy
17:18 alchemy:~> hostname -s
alchemy
17:19 alchemy:~> hostname -f
alchemy.3111skyline.com
Comparing against Archlinux (which makes no use of /etc/HOSTNAME) the
operation is the same. The Arch box is a full-server and has no
resolution problems:
16:13 phoinix:.../pkg/x86_64> hostnamectl status
   Static hostname: phoinix
         Icon name: computer-desktop
           Chassis: desktop
        Machine ID: 8d32bcc3152b4a1f87c4d71f948f93fb
           Boot ID: 85795ece61404ea58409cec3187d3003
  Operating System: Arch Linux
            Kernel: Linux 3.14.1-1-ARCH
      Architecture: x86-64
17:18 phoinix:.../pkg/x86_64> hostname
phoinix
17:18 phoinix:.../pkg/x86_64> hostname -s
phoinix
17:18 phoinix:.../pkg/x86_64> hostname -f
phoinix.rlfpllc.com
I haven't drilled-down on how systemd manages this issue, but it
appears all is working correctly now.
I don't know that changing /etc/HOSTNAME is really necessary.  On my six
local openSUSE boxes, I have:

  cat /etc/HOSTNAME
  Crash.wahoo.no-ip.org   
  
(all boxes exhibit similar results)

  # hostnamectl status
     Static hostname: Crash.wahoo.no-ip.org
  Transient hostname: Crash
           Icon name: computer-desktop
             Chassis: desktop
          Machine ID: 8256ba7d0e3911cd735ec8c4000004e6
             Boot ID: b33c7360c07248ffa4d38b414a062753
    Operating System: openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (x86_64)
         CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:opensuse:opensuse:13.1
              Kernel: Linux 3.15.5-39.g01d2774-desktop
        Architecture: x86_64

  # hostname
  Crash


I have yet to experienced noticable problems with this condition.
