Most likely due to a broken /etc/hosts file. In my experience, many sys admins put 192.1.1.1 foo foo.bar.com in the hosts file instead of the correct form: 192.1.1.1 foo.bar.com foo If you find the h_name is not qualified, you can increase the probability of turning up a fqdn if you poke through the alias list for something with dots. _MikeReceived on Wednesday, 4 October 1995 03:27:03 UTC
