Ok, I finally got it through my thick head. Ryan Tandy had pointed out |
| 14 |
that "domainname" is not the proper way to display the FQDN; - it |
| 15 |
displays the NIS/YP domainname which I don't have. But his comment went |
| 16 |
over my head until now. "dnsdomainname" is the command I should have |
| 17 |
been using and it does report the correct domain. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Also, I confirmed that my domainname (dnsdomainname) is being set in |
| 20 |
/etc/hosts, as some others have pointed out. |

So, thanks to everyone for their patience with me, especially Alexander |
| 23 |
Skwar. |
