Ok, then you probably need to add your host's FQDN to the file /etc/hosts |
| 20 |
(eg, a.b.c.d myhost.my.domain myhost). I found it to be the only |
| 21 |
method to have hostname -f working. |

Since the handbook does not mention this, I'm still thinking that I'm |
| 24 |
probably missing something, but even a fresh install has the problem |
| 25 |
until the /etc/hosts workaround is applied. |
