Use Domain In Hostname Or Not?

[Dirk Grunwald]

One thing to worry about arised here at CU.

the `local convention' is to use simple host name, not FQHN.  My
DECstation DNS wanted host name entries in .rhosts to be the FQHN
version; the local suns (using static host tables) want `the hostname'.


Thus, my .rhosts file has


foobar.Colorado.EDU grunwald
foobar grunwald
anchor.Colorado.EDU grunwald
anchor grunwald

to allow it to be shared between /etc/hosts and DNS groking clients.
If the local convention is FQHN, then this would not be needed, and
I'd just use the FQHN. Oh well.
