This name is used -by many of the networking programs to identify the machine. -.LP -When called without any arguments, the program displays the current -name as set by the -.B hostname -command. You can change the output format to display always the short -or the long host name (FQDN). When called with arguments, the program will -set the value of the host name to the value specified. This usually is -done only once, at system startup time, by the -.I /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 -configuration script. -.LP -Note, that only the super-user can change the host name. -.LP -If the program was called as -.B dnsdomainname -it will show the DNS domain name. You can't change the DNS domain name with -.B dnsdomainname -(see below). -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.I "\-d, \-\-domain" -Display the name of the DNS domain. Don't use the command -.B domainname -to get the DNS domain name because it will show the NIS domain name and -not the DNS domain name. -.TP -.I "\-F, \-\-file filename" -Read the host name from the specified file. Comments (lines starting with -a `#') are ignored. -.TP -.I "\-f, \-\-fqdn, \-\-long" -Display the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name). A FQDN consists of a -short host name and the DNS domain name. Unless you are using bind or NIS -for host lookups you can change the FQDN and the DNS domain name (which is -part of the FQDN) in the \fI/etc/hosts\fR file. -.TP -.I "\-h, \-\-help" -Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully. -.TP -.I "\-s, \-\-short" -Display the short host name. -.TP -.I "\-v, \-\-version" -Print version information on standard output and exit successfully. -.SH FILES -.B /etc/hosts -.SH AUTHOR -Peter Tobias, <tobias@server.et-inf.fho-emden.de> - |
