Subject: $sys.host and $sys.fqhost returning same FQ value.

Yet another newbie question (CentOS 5.7/Fedora 16 environment, CFE 3.3.1)
I'm just testing some very simple policies, and arrived to an inconsistent
behavior of the value thrown back by intrinsic system variables $(sys.host) and
$(sys.fqhost).
In my CentOS prototype, both report the same long (FQ) domain (this is causing
problem in the e-mail reporting).
In Fedora 16 it works fine.
Each host has its own IP/hostname declared in /etc/hosts such as:
IP myhost.mydomain.com myhost
and in /etc/sysconfog/network as
hostname=myhost
# CF3 learning example. #2
# Exploring use of variables.
bundle agent stringexample2
{
vars:
"thehostname" string => $(sys.host);
"thefqhostname" string => $(sys.fqhost);
reports:
cfengine::
"The hostname (short) is: $(thehostname)";
"The hostname (FQ) is: $(thefqhostname)";
}
The results being:
May 11 15:46:35 scorpia cf3[9228]: R: The hostname (short) is:
myhost.mydomain.com
May 11 15:46:35 scorpia cf3[9228]: R: The hostname (FQ) is: myhost.mydomain.com
(of course I'm obscuring the actual names)
Some idea how to correct this ?
