Curiouser and curiouser... |

Using your suggested line as the complete content of my /etc/hosts file |
| 35 |
has _no_ effect at all. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
As an experiment, I tried modifying /etc/conf.d/hostname to have just |
| 38 |
a test name, i.e. osagexxx, and restarting /etc/init.d/hostname. My |
| 39 |
system was not at all happy with that. |

|
| 41 |
### hostname ; hostname -s ; hostname --fqdn ; dnsdomainname |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
osagexxx |
| 44 |
hostname: Unknown host |
| 45 |
hostname: Unknown host |
| 46 |
dnsdomainname: Unknown host |
