rceng02:~# hostname rceng02 rceng02:~# hostname -f rceng02.eng.lan rceng02:~# head -1 /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 rceng02.eng.lan localhost.localdomain localhost rceng02 rceng02:~#
I always thought that was how it worked. The first hostname in /etc/hosts on the line containing the short name was used as the FQDN. Maybe that is only a gnu hostname thing. I seem to recall solaris had a domainname file that was used to find the domain part of the FQDN instead.
