I'm having trouble getting a licensed product on a SUSE system contacting the license server(which happens to be running on Redhat 7.3). We've elminated blocked ports, etc. One thing that has been determined is that typically, if you enter:
hostname
on the client machine(in this case, the SUSE system), you should get a response in the form of:
foo.domain.com
hostname -f will give you the long name, hostname gives you only the short one.
Thanks, I understand that, but it's not the same as, say, Redhat. Redhat gives us the name with the full domain added on, and it's my understanding that hostname simple calls gethostname() to do it. What I suspect I need is this function call working the same way on SUSE.
Yes, Red Hat makes it different than the rest of the world (not only different than other Linux distributors).
