Hi! I have a problem with the way gethostname() and getdomainname (don't) work on Debian.
gethostname() returns the hostname, not qualified. Ok, this is as expected, as there's the complementary getdomainname()-function. But that gets its information out of /proc/sys/kernel/domainname, which isn't filled from the start-up-process, so contains only the kernel-default of "(none)". The installer asks for the domainname, but doesn't seem to store it anywhere, and uses it only for resolv.conf and mail-configuration. Am I completely off-track with this, and there's another way to get the FQDN "the right way", or is this some serious brain-damage in the installation-process and a bug (against which package?) should be filed? cheers, &rw -- / Ing.
