In my disklist file I have typically used just the
short name for my hosts rather than the FQDN versions.
I.e. the first line below rather than the second.
vost Home /home comp-user-tar
vost.jgcomp.com Home /home comp-user-tar
My server and all the clients are in the same domain
and ip-addr -> hostname queries to my local DNS returns
the short form rather than the FQDN.
Are there any known places/situations where using the
short hostnames will definitely cause problems?
The concern arose as I'm still trying to get amdump_client
working. At one point I switched to FQDN to see if that
was a problem but got the surprise error of "no DLEs for
host vost". The amanda server considered the requesting
system to be "vost", not "vost.jgcomp.com". I'm assuming
it picked that up from a DNS query. I see no way to
specify the host on the amdump_client command line.
