Re: [PLUG] hostname fqdn not working as I'd expect
|
Hi Eric,
"domainname" is not the DNS domain, it's the NIS domain. You want
"dnsdomainname" which you probably have already and don't need to
install NIS.
Fixing the /etc/hosts entry to include your FQDN should fix your problem.
10.10.10.2 ursa.lucii.dnsalias.org ursa
Check out "man hostname".
