According to man hostname /bin/hostname -F <filename> will "read the hostname from the specified file". If you /bin/hostname -F <empty file> and then /bin/hostname --fqdn it fails (it's not getting the FQDN from /etc hosts!) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
