That's what the bent host said yesterday. This morning, after the fix (an sd command to undo some malware activity): ghe@sbox:~$ hostname -f sbox.slsware.net sd, I've noticed, often makes other software break. Several of my scripts, for example, started producing peculiar output and/or crashing. In this case, it broke the vastly complex 'hostname' command. Whatever, all is (seems to be) OK now, thanks to this list and the duckduckgo search engine... -- Glenn English
