Brain-trust,
Here is a curiosity in 13.1. After install, the hostname command returned the fully qualified domain name instead of properly returning the hostname alone. Eg:
$ hostname alchemy.3111skyline.com
$ hostname -f alchemy.3111skyline.com
This caused problems in some application that are expecting only the hostname part. Picking through the usual list of suspects, it turned out that /etc/HOSTNAME was the guilty party. It contained:
# 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? If this can be confirmed, I'll file the bug report, but there is also the possibility I entered the full hostname during install when it called for only the hostname part. I guess in that instance I should still file a bug report because the installer should be smart enough to validate the input. What says the list?
