But “localhost.localdomain” is kinda pointless no? I’ve checked a few systems and I’ve never seen that. Typical desktop GNU/Linux installs don’t have an FQDN and “hostname -d” doesn’t return one; that’s fine. I think the current default is OK, but we should allow people to specify an FQDN when there’s a meaningful one. Thoughts? Ludo’.
