Hello,
For those of you adminstering Debian or Ubuntu, given a FQDN of
"foo.example.com", what would *you* put in the /etc/hostname,
/etc/hosts and /etc/mailname files?
How about if the desired FQDN of the host was "example.com"?
If you have any documented support for your position, please
provide a link. I'm still interested if it's just personal
preference though.
Personally I put the short name in /etc/hostname:
foo
in /etc/hosts something like:
192.168.1.2 foo.example.com foo
and in /etc/mailname:
foo.example.com
If it came to the desired FQDN being "example.com" though, then it
would be more like:
/etc/hostname:
example.com
/etc/hosts:
192.168.1.2 example.com
/etc/mailname:
example.com
The differing treatment displeases me, and I know a few people
prefer the FQDN in /etc/hostname in all cases.
As far as I know it's down to preference and the debate hasn't moved
on from:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/05/msg02057.html
What do you do?
Cheers,
Andy
